40-Point NSE7 Audit

Running FortiGate for Years?
It's Time for a Real Audit.

Most FortiGate deployments drift over time — permissive rules accumulate, SSL inspection gets disabled, firmware falls behind, and threat feeds go unchecked. Ogma's NSE7-certified engineers run a 40-point audit against CIS and Fortinet best practices, then hand you a written report with a prioritised remediation roadmap.

What the Audit Covers

Six audit domains validated by NSE7-certified engineers against industry benchmarks.

Policy & Rule Audit

Every firewall rule is reviewed for over-permission, shadow rules, unused objects, and missing application controls. Bloated policy is the #1 <a href='https://www.fortinet.com/products/next-generation-firewall' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>FortiGate</a> risk.

Hardening Against CIS Benchmarks

Admin access, management plane security, CLI timeout, login banners, and certificate validation — all verified against CIS FortiOS benchmarks.

SSL/TLS Inspection Check

SSL inspection is the most impactful feature most organisations disable temporarily and forget. We check scope, certificate trust, and performance impact.

FortiGuard Subscription & Feed Audit

Active <a href='https://www.fortinet.com/solutions/enterprise-midsize-business/security-services' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>FortiGuard</a> threat feeds, IPS signature database currency, botnet C2 detection, and DNS filtering efficacy are all reviewed.

SD-WAN & VPN Configuration Review

IPsec tunnel health, ADVPN topology, SD-WAN SLA probes, and failover logic are validated against the design intent.

Written Deliverables

You receive an executive summary (for the board) and a technical findings report (for IT) with every issue severity-rated and a sequenced remediation roadmap.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. This is a configuration and best-practices audit — analysis of your FortiGate's settings, policies, and subscriptions. No traffic is generated against your systems.

A read-only admin account or a full config export is sufficient for the review. On-site visits are available for complex environments.

A standard single-firewall audit takes 1-2 business days from config handover to report delivery. Multi-site or HA clusters take 3-5 days.

After you implement the remediation roadmap, Ogma performs a free re-check of the high-severity findings to confirm resolution.
