Firewall Policy Health Check

A bounded review of firewall policy intent, ownership, exposure and change readiness before cleanup or a larger redesign.

Isometric firewall with a stack of active, stale and risky rules beside a clock and a short health-check report.

Questions this engagement should answer

  • Which rules have a clear business purpose, owner and review date?
  • Where do broad services, sources, destinations or administrative paths create avoidable exposure?
  • Which rules appear unused, duplicated or shadowed and what evidence is needed before change?
  • Can proposed remediation be staged, monitored, validated and rolled back?

What the work includes

  • Scope confirmation and read-only evidence planning
  • Review of agreed policy, objects, zones, logging and available usage evidence
  • Working review of material findings and uncertain assumptions
  • Prioritized candidate actions with dependencies, validation and rollback considerations

Deliverables

  • Observed-policy findings with evidence references
  • Ownership and recertification action register
  • Prioritized remediation candidates
  • Change-safeguard and validation notes for approved follow-on work
