WatchTower Intake Procedure*

The Watchtower intake process is a structured assessment designed to establish a clear understanding of the customer’s existing Cloudflare environment. If Black Talon or a Cronos subsidiary did not handle the implementation, this step ensures all required access, documentation, and configuration insights are in place. It includes account access validation, architectural review, and a technical intake interview to clarify objectives, identify potential gaps, and prepare the environment for effective ongoing monitoring and support.
