FAQ

Common Questions

How long does a Cloudflare WAF implementation take?

A standard WAF implementation — DNS onboarding, managed ruleset deployment, and initial tuning — typically takes 3–5 business days. More complex environments with custom rules and Cloudflare Access configuration may take 1–2 weeks.

Will WAF rules break my application?

We use a tuning-first approach: deploy rules in 'log' mode first, analyse false positives against real traffic, then move to 'block' mode. This ensures legitimate traffic is never interrupted.

Do you work with existing Cloudflare accounts?

Yes. We can work within your existing Cloudflare account, review your current configuration, and tune or expand from there. We also help with plan upgrades if your use case requires Business or Enterprise features.

Can you protect APIs as well as web applications?

Yes. API-specific rules (schema validation, rate limiting per endpoint, bot filtering at API paths) are part of our standard WAF implementation for API-heavy applications.
