Our team conducts this process manually by using specific tools. The step by step process which we conduct are:
Gathering Firewall security Review Information
- Network diagram– number of firewalls
- Best standards which are to be used (PCI DSS, NIST…)
- Critical Asset
Evaluation of Rules
- A detailed study of the existing rules which the client is practicing, details about scope, testing limitation.
Reporting
- The executed matter is mentioned to the higher authorities and what all changes are required is mentioned.
Execution

Review of remediation & Final Report
- After the change is made based on the reporting we check whether the faults in policies and other practices are up to the level.
- A final report is made based upon the last reviewed details which consist of a high-level overview of a report called executive-level report and a technical finding report which shows all technical aspects.
