Your need

What business need does this address?

We assess how your internet-facing services are prepared for heavy and unusual traffic, considering both applications and connectivity. Critical services, existing protections and provider dependencies are identified first. Checks are planned within written boundaries and approved with your connectivity carrier and protection provider. Where testing is included, timing, load limits, monitoring and stop conditions are agreed beforehand. Resource use, availability, alerts and protection thresholds inform an improvement report. Findings apply to the agreed scenarios; uninterrupted service or complete protection against every traffic type is not guaranteed.

DDoS Resilience Assessment

Technical details

Review the protection chain

We map the relationship between domain services, applications, hosting, connectivity and protective services. Critical transactions and single points of dependency are identified. Existing capacity, monitoring options and provider features establish a realistic assessment framework suited to the business and its operations.

Approved assessment within clear limits

Written scope covers authorized services only. We confirm the testing window, accepted load, monitoring responsibilities and stop conditions with the carrier and protection provider. Assessment is controlled with operational impact in mind, and no testing is performed against assets outside the agreed boundaries.

Turn findings into operating actions

Resource usage, service accessibility, alerts and protection thresholds are evaluated together. Improvements to capacity, configuration and communication are prioritized. The report assigns responsibilities and explains what follow-up checks should validate; conclusions are interpreted only for the conditions that were actually assessed.

How we work

Understand the need. Build the solution together.

  1. 01

    Understand the need

    Share your existing devices, users, connections and systems, including the providers you currently use.

  2. 02

    Plan the work

    We agree on priorities and sequence around these areas: Review of critical services, connection capacity, protection layers and provider dependencies · Written scope and load limits, with carrier- and protection-provider-approved testing and stop plans · Resource and availability monitoring, alert and protection threshold assessment, and improvement recommendations.

  3. 03

    Implement and review

    An area we review together during implementation: Resource and availability monitoring, alert and protection threshold assessment, and improvement recommendations.

  4. 04

    Hand over and explain usage

    At handover, we review the agreed deliverables and usage steps together. Delivery includes a current-state assessment, written check and test scope, observation and threshold report, and an improvement list with assigned responsibilities.

In practice

How could this work in your business?

Illustrative use case

A network load-testing appliance, switch and traffic monitoring screen connected by Ethernet cables.
DDoS Resilience Assessment

An online retailer with busy campaign periods wants to review the readiness of its protection service and internal team. In this illustrative assessment, limits are agreed with connectivity and protection providers, and approved checks inform improvements to capacity, alerting and communication procedures.

Handover & preparation

From the first meeting to handover.

What will you receive?

Delivery includes a current-state assessment, written check and test scope, observation and threshold report, and an improvement list with assigned responsibilities.

  • Review of critical services, connection capacity, protection layers and provider dependencies
  • Written scope and load limits, with carrier- and protection-provider-approved testing and stop plans
  • Resource and availability monitoring, alert and protection threshold assessment, and improvement recommendations

What should you bring to the first meeting?

  1. Share your existing devices, users, connections and systems, including the providers you currently use.
  2. Identify priority work areas, access owners and suitable times for changes.

In the first meeting, we review your current setup, priorities and dependencies together. We prepare the proposal around that discussion.
