Firewall Security Review (Audit-Ready)
Firewall rules and VPN settings tend to grow over time—sometimes faster than documentation. This service provides a structured review of your firewall configuration with clear findings, prioritized remediation steps, and practical hardening recommendations. Remote‑first delivery with onsite assistance when needed.
Typical outcomes
Reduced attack surface (unnecessary rules, broad NAT, weak VPN posture)
Cleaner policy structure and easier ongoing management
Better visibility (logging recommendations and actionable monitoring)
A remediation plan that’s realistic for your team to execute
What we review (high level)
Rulebase quality (over‑permissive rules, shadowed rules, unused objects)
Network segmentation approach and east/west exposure
NAT posture and risky exposures
VPN configuration hygiene (crypto, access controls, user groups)
Management plane exposure and admin controls
Logging, alerts, and operational guardrails
Backup/restore readiness and change control considerations
Deliverables
Findings report with severity and business impact
“Fix first” prioritized list (quick wins + high‑risk items)
Recommended rule cleanup approach
Hardening checklist tailored to your environment
Optional: working session(s) to implement fixes
What I’ll ask you for
Firewall vendor/model + software version
Current network diagram (even rough) or list of VLANs/subnets
Remote access VPN details (if in use)
Any audit frameworks you care about (if applicable)
Known pain points (e.g., “VPN drops,” “rules are a mess,” “too many admins”)
