Pillar 3 • Infrastructure Hardening Sprints

Architectural Remediation.
Fixed-Scope. Zero Downtime.

High-impact network cutovers engineered for Ontario clinics, dental practices, and professional firms. Replacing flat consumer router setups with segmented, enterprise-hardened architectures strictly during off-hours.

Strict Layer-3 Segmentation

Patient EMR databases, Moneris POS terminals, and guest Wi-Fi exist on isolated VLANs with rigid firewall ACLs.

Zero Open Management Ports

Eliminating exposed RDP (3389) and HTTP router logins to eliminate the primary vector for Ontario ransomware breaches.

Guaranteed Off-Hours Rollout

Turn-ups execute after 7:00 PM or on Saturdays, complete with automated fallback snapshots to guarantee zero clinic downtime.

Scoped Professional Milestones

Structured For Immediate Compliance

Fixed-fee milestone projects with verified Statement of Work (SOW) sign-offs. No open-ended hourly billing.

Sprint A 1 Evening Window

Clinical VLAN Isolation

Boundary & Traffic Segmentation

Transforms flat, vulnerable office LANs into segregated security zones to satisfy RCDSO/CCO privacy standards and insurance mandates.

Sprint Deliverables

Architecture of 3 Isolated VLANs: Medical Records / POS Terminals / Patient Wi-Fi.
Firewall Inter-VLAN rules blocking guest Wi-Fi devices from probing medical shares or servers.
Client Isolation enabled on Access Points (preventing peer-to-peer scanning in waiting rooms).
Formal Segmentation Verification Certificate issued for underwriter submission.

Sprint B Turnkey Staging

Perimeter Gateway Cutover

FortiGate / UniFi Modernization

Retires outdated ISP combo modems or aging retail routers and deploys a commercial-grade next-generation firewall pre-staged for your practice.

Sprint Deliverables

Pre-configuration and offline staging of appliance (FortiGate 40F or UniFi Gateway).
Bridging ISP modem (Rogers / Bell) into IP Passthrough with static IP handover.
IPS/IDS threat signature activation, DNS malware filtering & DoS perimeter protection.
Saturday physical turn-up + 30-day post-cutover operational warranty.

Sprint C Cloud / Hybrid

Encrypted Remote Access

MFA-Protected Remote Admin

Empowers clinic owners, partner doctors, and office managers to review charts and run billing from home securely without port-forwarding risks.

Sprint Deliverables

Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) or TLS/SSL VPN deployment with mandatory MFA.
Complete decommissioning of unencrypted RDP (Port 3389) or legacy PPTP tunnels.
Geo-blocking: restricting all inbound authentication attempts strictly to Canadian IP blocks.
End-user quickstart guide + 1-on-1 configuration for practice partners.

Engineered Execution

The Sprint Deployment Lifecycle

01

Topology Audit

We document physical switch ports, DHCP scopes, ISP gateway settings, and connected payment terminals without network downtime.

02

Bench Staging

All firewalls, VLAN interfaces, routing policies, and certificates are pre-configured and stress-tested in our lab prior to cutover.

03

Off-Hours Cutover

Execution takes place Friday evening or Saturday. Old hardware is physically swapped, interfaces migrated, and fallbacks tested.

04

Monday Standby

We provide active priority remote standby when your staff opens on Monday morning to guarantee zero disruptions to patient billing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Inquiries Regarding Sprints

Do we have to buy new hardware through CloudSecNet?

No. We adhere to a strict vendor-neutral standard. We recommend exact hardware models based on your practice size (e.g., Fortinet FortiGate 40F/60F or Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Max) and provide direct distributor links so you purchase equipment directly at cost. We never add secret retail markups.

What happens if an unexpected issue arises during cutover?

Every cutover includes an automated roll-back protocol. Before touching the existing topology, full configuration dumps and port mappings are backed up. If unforeseen ISP issues occur, the previous operational state can be restored within 10 minutes.

Will our credit card payment terminals (Moneris / Clover) still work after segmentation?

Yes, and with greater security. Payment processing terminals are placed on their own dedicated POS VLAN with outbound TLS access to Canadian acquiring banks, while being completely isolated from patient computers and the guest Wi-Fi network to satisfy PCI-DSS compliance requirements.
