Firewall Security Assessment
Stay ahead of evolving threats. Cyber threats change daily and every firewall adjustment, no matter how small, can create unseen vulnerabilities.
The challenge
Constant changes
Firewalls undergo constant change to support evolving business needs. Those changes often unintentionally introduce risks which permit potentially harmful access into or out through an organisation’s network.
Optimal configuration must encompass security
A well-configured firewall provides better visibility into network traffic, making it easier to detect suspicious activities and respond to threats. A Firewall Security Assessment helps identify issues that could expose your network to cyber threats. Regular reviews ensure your firewall is configured optimally to effectively block malicious traffic and prevent unauthorised access.
How do I comply
Depending upon the number of annual card transactions your organisation processes and how card data is handled it will either be by completing the appropriate Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or undergoing a PCI Audit. There are also requirements for penetration testing and vulnerability scans.

We assess your organisation’s current security posture against PCI, advise on remediation actions and help to complete the SAQ.
