A third-party review of your firewall ruleset, identifying misconfigurations, redundant rules, and policy gaps that leave your network exposed without your knowledge.

The Reality for Most Organizations
Firewall rules accumulate over years. Rules get added for specific projects, temporary access needs, and vendor requirements, and they rarely get removed. After enough time, nobody on your team fully understands what the ruleset allows or why. Rules that were meant to be temporary become permanent. Broad permissions that should have been tightened stay open. A third-party review cuts through that accumulated complexity and tells you exactly what your firewall is actually doing, and what it should be.
Comprehensive Ruleset Analysis
An independent expert review of your firewall configuration: the kind of objective analysis you can’t get from the same team that manages it day-to-day.

Know What Your Firewall Is Actually Allowing
A misconfigured firewall is worse than no firewall; it creates a false sense of security while leaving real exposure. This analysis gives leadership the accurate picture of what is and isn’t controlled at the network perimeter, and a concrete plan to close the gaps.
Misconfigurations found and corrected before an attacker exploits an open rule nobody remembered adding.
Leadership has an accurate view of network perimeter risk, not an assumption that the firewall is handling it.
Your IT team gets a clean, documented baseline they can maintain confidently going forward.
Why Leadership Cares
When a breach occurs, regulators, insurers, and attorneys will ask whether reasonable controls were in place. A documented firewall review, performed by an independent third party, is direct evidence of due diligence. It also protects against one of the most common causes of breach: a forgotten rule allowing inbound access that nobody knew was still there.
