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”)

Schedule a 15‑minute call and I’ll tell you what I can realistically review and deliver based on your environment size.
