IP Address Management (IPAM) Register

Last Reviewed: March 2026 Owner: Dr Simon Chapman (CTO)

1. Production Infrastructure (Northflank)

Asset Type IP Address / Range Purpose
Web Production Ingress Assigned by Northflank โ€” recorded in Northflank console Public access to CheckTick web application
Service Egress Egress Assigned by Northflank โ€” recorded in Northflank console Outbound requests to OIDC providers and mail delivery services
Database Internal Northflank private network (not publicly routable) Internal communication between application and PostgreSQL
Vault Internal Northflank private network (not publicly routable) Internal communication between application and HashiCorp Vault

Specific IP values are recorded in the Northflank console and reviewed quarterly by the CTO. Production ingress and egress IPs are noted for reference when registering with external services such as NCSC Early Warning.

2. Administrative Access (EatYourPeas Ltd Staff)

Person Access Method IP Configuration Security Control
Dr Simon Chapman (CTO) Home broadband (dynamic IP) No IP restriction โ€” dynamic ISP-assigned address MFA enforced on all administrative accounts
Dr Serena Haywood (SIRO) Home broadband (dynamic IP) No IP restriction โ€” dynamic ISP-assigned address MFA enforced on all administrative accounts

EatYourPeas Ltd operates as a fully remote organisation. Both administrators connect from home broadband connections with ISP-assigned dynamic IP addresses. IP-based access restrictions are not applied as the IP addresses are not static. Access to all administrative systems is instead controlled through mandatory MFA on individually named accounts, which provides equivalent or superior protection โ€” a stolen credential cannot be used without the registered hardware authenticator regardless of the source IP address.

3. Review Process

The CTO reviews all IP ranges and infrastructure networking configuration quarterly, confirming that production IP assignments in Northflank are current and that no unauthorised ingress rules have been added. Any change to production IP assignments is logged in the Infrastructure Technical Change Log. Reviews are documented in the Internal Audit and Spot Check Log.
