Cloud & Resilience
Cybersecurity & Business Resilience
Understand the digital risks that matter to your business and what to improve first. We assess your systems and supplier arrangements, clarify responsibilities and develop a prioritized resilience plan.
- Who it helps
- Organizations reviewing website risks, security proposals, supplier responsibilities or the ability to continue and recover after disruption.
- What you receive
- A scoped risk assessment, a control and responsibility map, a validation plan and prioritized improvements with named owners.
- How it works
- We review the systems and evidence with your team and providers, assess options and agree an improvement plan. Testing and ongoing coverage are explicitly scoped.
When you need a resilience review
A website or platform can be essential to the business while protection and recovery responsibilities are spread across several suppliers. You need a clear view of what is covered, who reviews alerts and who acts when something goes wrong.
We help leadership teams review digital risks, security proposals, unwanted traffic and continuity arrangements. The review starts with important business services, their dependencies and the consequences of disruption.
Signs responsibilities need attention
- Unwanted traffic interferes with normal journeys, hosting resources or useful measurement.
- Security proposals describe features without defining validation or operating ownership.
- Nobody is clearly responsible for reviewing alerts, escalating incidents or communicating status.
- Backups exist, but recovery priorities, dependencies and restore responsibilities are uncertain.
What we assess
We agree the systems, business impact and boundaries of the review. We examine existing controls, supplier responsibilities, monitoring and escalation arrangements, and the information available to judge whether they meet your needs.
For website traffic, we consider unwanted activity, access for genuine visitors and what happens when a control blocks a valid user or becomes unavailable. The wider review considers application protection, access, patching, recovery and service dependencies. Traffic filtering alone does not establish application security.
What you receive
We select the outputs around the risks, systems and supplier decisions in scope.
Risks & priorities
- A scoped risk assessment linking system exposure and disruption scenarios to business consequences.
- Prioritized resilience improvements with owners, prerequisites and review points.
Controls & responsibilities
- A map of controls and responsibilities across your team and external providers, with traffic-security architecture where relevant.
- Vendor evaluation criteria covering protection, evidence, monitoring, support, dependencies and exit arrangements.
Validation & recovery planning
- A validation plan with acceptance criteria, checks for legitimate-user disruption and agreed testing boundaries.
- Recovery priorities, escalation paths and responsibilities to review with your providers, including dependencies and behavior when a control or platform fails.
How we work
We agree the review scope, information access and responsibilities before work begins. Findings distinguish available evidence from assumptions that need validation.
Understand the exposure
InterPro: Identify important services, system dependencies and credible disruption scenarios. Review available reports and current operating arrangements.
Your team: Identify business and system owners, explain the impact of disruption and share relevant documentation through agreed access arrangements.
Assess controls and responsibilities
InterPro: Review control coverage, supplier proposals, monitoring, escalation and recovery ownership. Compare options by risk reduction, cost and operating effort.
Your team: Confirm provider responsibilities, clarify existing commitments and help resolve gaps in the evidence or ownership.
Agree the improvement plan
InterPro: Prioritize actions, define validation criteria and document review points. Identify any specialist testing or implementation work that needs a separate scope.
Your team: Assign action owners, agree priorities and approve any subsequent testing scope and permissions with the responsible providers.
Engagement options
Start with a focused website-risk review, security-vendor assessment, traffic-protection design or resilience planning project. Implementation coordination and recurring reviews can be added with agreed delivery responsibilities.
The proposal sets out the systems covered, deliverables, responsibilities, fees and timing. We work with your internal owners and existing providers to make the next decisions and actions clear.
Measuring results
Measures may include critical responsibilities assigned, validation criteria met, restore tests completed, alerts reviewed within agreed windows and disruption to legitimate users. We select measures around the system and available evidence.
Results are assessed against agreed criteria and test conditions. Unwanted request counts are considered alongside customer experience, service availability and the coverage of the controls being reviewed.
Service scope
This is an advisory, architecture and coordination service. Any implementation, specialist security testing, continuous monitoring or incident-response coverage requires an explicit scope, authorized systems and named responsible providers.
The consultation does not establish emergency coverage or a staffed 24/7 security operations center. A review does not guarantee compliance or immunity from attack. Testing methods, permissions and service commitments are agreed before that work begins.
Illustrative scenario: keeping customer enquiries available
Imagine a business whose enquiry form receives spam while genuine customer messages sometimes fail to reach the team. This is a hypothetical example of how a resilience review could work.
This scenario demonstrates the review process. It does not represent a completed security engagement or a proven protection level.
- The decision: how can the business protect the form and keep genuine enquiries moving?
- Our approach: map the form-to-mailbox journey, review existing controls and supplier responsibilities, and identify an alternative contact route.
- What you would receive: a prioritized risk review, a responsibility map, and a response and recovery checklist.
- What we would check: legitimate submissions, rejected spam, delivery failures, alerts, and the steps for restoring service within an agreed test scope.
Relevant development experience
For Website Traffic Security, a development workstream within affiliated business InterProWebHost, we completed AWS architecture and configuration, a service scope and system model, an evaluation framework and a staged roadmap.
The work connects proposed traffic protection with customer access, operating costs, support responsibilities and recovery. The evaluation plan covers unwanted activity, legitimate visitors, performance and failure conditions.
The offering remains in development. Production integration, acceptance testing and customer security outcomes are not yet established. The case study explains the completed development work and planned validation.

What should we prepare before starting?
Bring the systems or supplier decisions you want to review and the business concerns behind them. Existing provider agreements, system diagrams, risk reports and recovery plans are useful where available. We agree further information and access needs as part of the scope; confidential records are not needed in the initial consultation form.
How long does a resilience review take?
Timing depends on the systems covered, available evidence and the providers involved. We agree the schedule and review points in the proposal. Specialist testing, implementation or follow-up validation has its own agreed scope and timing where required.
How are fees agreed?
Fees are set out in the proposal alongside the scope, deliverables, responsibilities and timing. The initial conversation helps establish whether you need a focused risk review, vendor assessment or wider resilience plan. Any specialist testing or ongoing coverage is explicitly scoped.
Is this a penetration test?
No. A risk or architecture review has a different scope from an authorized penetration test. If testing is needed, the systems, methods, permissions and specialist responsibilities must be explicitly agreed.
Can you review a proposal from our current security vendor?
Yes. A review can examine the problem being solved, control boundaries, evidence, operating dependencies, service obligations and exit arrangements, with a clear list of questions and decision criteria.
Do you provide emergency incident response?
This consultation service does not establish emergency coverage. Monitoring, response windows and incident handling must be agreed explicitly. An organization experiencing an active incident should use its designated response provider and escalation process.
