Secureroot's secure configuration & ruleset review services help BFSI, manufacturing, government, and regulated enterprises audit firewalls, routers, switches, WAFs, and security devices against CIS Benchmarks, vendor best practices, and your organization's security policies. ISO 27001 certified. CERT-In aligned. Trusted by MoJ Kuwait and India's leading enterprises.
Secure configuration and ruleset review is a structured audit where certified consultants examine the configuration files and rulesets of your security devices — firewalls, routers, switches, Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), load balancers, VPN gateways, and other infrastructure components – against industry benchmarks (CIS, DISA STIG, vendor best practices) and your organization’s security policies. The goal: identify misconfigurations, overly-permissive rules, and hardening gaps before they’re exploited.
Network pen testing tells you what an external attacker can exploit. Config review tells you why. It’s the difference between ‘this port is exposed’ and ‘this firewall rule was added in 2019 for a project that ended in 2020 and never got removed.’ Config review reads the configuration directly — including thousands of firewall rules accumulated over years, vendor-specific hardening guides, and version-specific CVEs in the device firmware itself. It catches the misconfigurations that pen testing might miss because the test plan didn’t target them.
If your business depends on security devices to protect it – and every business does – those devices are only as good as their configuration. Indian regulators (RBI Cyber Master Direction, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI cyber framework, PCI DSS Section 1.1.7) all require periodic firewall and security device configuration review. Cyber insurance underwriters demand it. M&A due diligence requires it. And one overly-permissive firewall rule can undo crores of investment in security architecture. Config review is the quiet, essential audit that protects everything else
We follow CIS Benchmarks, DISA STIG, NIST SP 800-41 (firewall guidelines), and vendor-specific hardening guides (Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point). Every config review runs through these six steps.
We catalog every security device in scope: model, firmware version, deployment location, and management interface. We arrange secure config-export access (read-only) and coordinate testing windows with your network team.
We select the applicable CIS Benchmark for each device type (CIS Cisco IOS, CIS Palo Alto, CIS Check Point, CIS Fortinet) plus vendor-specific hardening guides and your internal policy baselines.
Industry tools (Nipper Studio, Tufin SecureChange, AlgoSec, manual scripted analysis) parse exported configs and check against benchmark controls — providing baseline coverage at scale.
Senior consultants manually review rulesets for shadowed rules, expired rules, overly-permissive ‘any-any’ entries, duplicate rules, and business-context-dependent issues that automated tools systematically miss.
Every finding documented with specific config snippet, affected device, CIS Benchmark reference, business impact, remediation command/CLI syntax, and prioritization by risk.
Once your team patches the findings, we verify the fixes at no extra cost. Engagement only closes when everything’s actually fixed.
