Five Ways In

From a fixed-fee health check to ongoing fractional governance. Every engagement is holder-side and independent, and spans your whole estate: RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, AFRINIC, and national registries such as JPNIC. Fees are discussed in conversation, scoped to your estate.

IP Estate Health Check

Fixed fee · 2 to 3 weeks from receipt of records

Best for: a fast, board-ready view of the whole estate.

Every RIR and national registry (JPNIC included), every LIR account, one view. The engine scans your registrations, routing, RPKI, reverse DNS, and geolocation against the public record; the reconciliation then checks the registry against the records you provide: internal inventories, transfer and lease agreements, and corporate history. Anything you cannot produce is itself a finding.

  • Full multi-RIR and NIR estate inventory, legacy and leased space included
  • Registry versus internal records reconciliation
  • Findings scored against the KIPA Governance Maturity Model, ranked by exposure
  • Board-ready report plus a working session on your next moves
  • Intake checklist up front, so you know exactly what to send; the fee is fixed after a short sizing call, whatever the size of the estate

KIPA Capability Assessment

Scoped fee · 4 to 6 weeks

Best for: organisations building the governance function.

A structured review of how your organisation governs number resources, scored against the KIPA Governance Maturity Model across all four practice domains, with stewardship and ownership assessed first: who is accountable for the estate, and does the operating rhythm hold.

  • Maturity scoring across governance, capacity, records, and market strategy
  • Utilisation and efficiency analysis across address families
  • IPv6 readiness and migration opportunity review
  • Prioritised roadmap with a business case per initiative, plus executive summary

Program Delivery

Interim · 3 to 6 months

Best for: organisations ready to execute.

Hands-on delivery where findings become operational reality. Senior leadership runs the operating model, controls, and execution disciplines until the function holds on its own.

  • Internal IPv4 recovery and recycling campaigns
  • Targeted IPv6 deployment planning and execution
  • IPAM integration, automation, and data quality controls
  • Post-M&A consolidation and registry alignment

Fractional IP Governance

Retainer · 2 to 4 days/month

Best for: senior oversight without a full-time hire.

The governance leadership of a chief IP strategist, embedded in your operating rhythm on a retained basis.

  • Monthly governance reviews and executive reporting
  • Market monitoring plus transfer and leasing advisory
  • RIR policy tracking and compliance oversight across regions
  • Capacity forecasting and broker or vendor relationship management

Dispute & Expert Support

On enquiry

Best for: registry reviews, formal disputes, and arbitration.

Independent, confidential expertise grounded in published policy and the public record, on the holder's side of the table.

  • Assisted Registry Check and investigation preparation and accompaniment
  • Independent expert analysis for disputes and arbitration
  • Documentation and justification packs that stand up to review
  • Discrete engagement, holder-side throughout

Alongside the RIPE NCC's ARC

Complementary by design.

The RIPE NCC's Assisted Registry Check reviews your records against the registry, for the registry, one LIR at a time. The IP Estate Health Check reviews your estate against your business: multi-RIR, multi-LIR, legacy and leased space, reconciled with your contracts, systems, and corporate history. Private, holder-side, and done before the registry looks. And if the free ARC is all your estate needs, that is exactly what we will tell you.

Also delivered inside these engagements: IPv4 transfer and leasing strategy, M&A due diligence, IP asset valuation, RPKI implementation, IP geolocation correction, reputation and blocklist remediation, policy impact analysis.

Four Domains, One Model

Every engagement works the same four practice domains: Operating Model & Stewardship (ownership, policy, cadence) · Capacity & Migration (forecasting, IPv6, efficiency) · Records & Audit Readiness (registry accuracy, reviews, disputes) · Market Strategy (transfers, leasing, valuation).

From firefight to forward planning.

01 · DIAGNOSE

Know your gaps

Capabilities scored against the KIPA maturity framework: unclear ownership, silent data-quality failures, forecasting that falls short.

02 · DESIGN

Built to fit

Operating model, ownership, controls, governance metrics, and cadence, tailored to your actual structure.

03 · EMBED

Go operational

RACI in practice, controls in tooling, touchpoints scheduled, teams trained. From project to operating muscle.

04 · EVOLVE

Built to adapt

Scenario forecasting iterated, regulatory horizon scanning, maturity reviews that keep the function sharp.

Results That Compound

€16.5M

Years

Runway Recovered

Forecasting · Risk mitigation

Scenario-based analysis, split by service type, seasonal trends, and IPv6 projections, repeatedly found capacity that aggregate forecasting missed.

1.5 FTE

IPAM Automation

Efficiency · 300+ sites

An automated scope checker with rules-based logic recovered 1.5 FTE and cut turnaround by 40% across a 300-site upgrade programme.

Millions

IPv6 Migration

DS-Lite · Segmentation

Customer profiling deployed DS-Lite only where it fit, freeing millions of IPv4 addresses with zero support spike.
