Firewall End-of-Life Exposure Assessment

Cisco ASA 5506-X loses all support on 31 August 2026 and FortiOS 7.2 on 30 September. Essential Eight ML1 requires unsupported internet-facing services to be removed, and cyber-insurance proposal forms routinely ask whether yours still are. We start by telling you exactly what you are running and what it will cost to fix.

  • Cisco ASA 5506-X31 Aug 2026
  • FortiOS 7.230 Sep 2026
  • Catalyst 2960-Plus / 2960-L31 Oct 2026

Exposure assessment $1,800. Read-only, and credited in full against any work that follows.

Everything else

Network design, rollouts, troubleshooting, automation and ongoing support are scoped individually. See the services below, or the rate card if the work genuinely cannot be scoped up front.

Services

What We Do

Practical network solutions for businesses that need things to work, designed, deployed, and supported by a senior engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience across Cisco, Fortinet, Ubiquiti, and MikroTik.

Network Design

We design your network from the ground up: architecture, hardware selection and implementation, built to your business requirements and budget. No over-engineering, no unnecessary licensing fees.

Network Management & Support

Ongoing remote oversight for your network, covering Moves, Adds and Changes (MAC), firmware updates and proactive monitoring. We catch problems before they become outages.

Network Troubleshooting

When something breaks, you need it fixed fast. We diagnose and resolve network faults promptly, with clear communication throughout: no jargon, no runaround, no finger-pointing between vendors.

Cybersecurity

Practical security for SMBs: firewall configuration and review, vulnerability assessments, and ASD Essential Eight alignment. We protect what matters without overcomplicated tooling or enterprise-priced contracts.

New Rollouts

Opening a new office, warehouse or retail site? We handle end-to-end network rollouts: hardware specification, cabling coordination, configuration and handover, so you open on time, connected and ready. You buy the hardware directly; we take no margin on it.

Operations Automation

We automate repetitive network tasks such as configuration backups, firmware tracking and alert triage, cutting the manual effort and the errors that come with doing it by hand. For several clients this has replaced a paid third-party monitoring contract outright.

We Prescribe the Right Tool, Not the Highest-Margin One

We work across enterprise and cost-effective platforms and match the solution to your requirements and budget.

Engagement Steps

How To Engage With Us

  1. Assess Fit

    A short call to understand your network, your budget and your timeline, and to confirm we're the right people for the job.

  2. Scope and Price the Work

    You get a written proposal: a Work Breakdown Structure for project work, or an hours estimate for ad-hoc requests.

  3. Agree the Design

    You review and sign off on the design document before anything changes on your network.

  4. Implement and Test

    We carry out the work in scheduled sessions and check each change before moving to the next one.

  5. Document and Hand Over

    You get as-built documentation, configuration details and supporting evidence, followed by a post-implementation review.

Pricing

One Fixed Price. Everything Else Quoted.

We publish a fixed price for the assessment because it is the one engagement whose scope we fully control. Everything else is quoted once we have seen your network.

Exposure Assessment

Find out exactly what you are running, what it exposes you to, and what it will cost to fix — in writing, before anyone touches anything.

$1,800 AUD

Single site · $2,800 for 2–4 sites

Credited in full against any work that follows.

What you get

  • Device-by-device inventory — model, part number, serial, firmware, support status
  • End-of-support dates verified against each vendor's own bulletin, not a reseller tracker
  • Known-exploited vulnerability exposure per device
  • Internal application and flow inventory — what needs remote access, who uses it, over which protocols
  • What is undocumented — rules, routes and tunnels with no recorded owner or purpose
  • Gap list against your cyber-insurance proposal form and typical client security questionnaires
  • Five-year cost comparison: stay as you are, refresh, or replace
  • Hardware bill of materials so you can price the equipment yourself
  • Prioritised remediation plan with indicative effort and cost bands
  • A written recommendation — including doing nothing, if that is the right answer
Book the assessment
Why it is low risk
  • Read-only. No configuration changes, no production impact, no maintenance window required.
  • No agents installed, no credentials retained. Read-only access or exported configs are enough.
  • You keep the report whether or not you engage us for anything further.

What happens after the assessment

Remediation is scoped and quoted from the assessment's findings, against your actual estate rather than an assumption about it. That is the only honest way to price work on a network nobody has documented in five years, which is why you will not find a fixed migration price on this page, or on any credible provider's.

  • Design and migration work quoted per site, fixed price, once the scope is known
  • Rollback plan written and walked through before the migration plan
  • Changes inside a contracted maintenance window, never ad hoc
  • Hardware bought by you directly — we take no margin and hold no stock

We do not sell hardware. Equipment is specified in the assessment and bought by you directly, from whichever supplier you like. We take no margin on it and hold no stock, so there is no incentive for us to over-specify.

Single office, up to 25 staff
