A FortiGate firewall audit should start with the controls that can create the most immediate exposure: administrative access, overly broad policies, weak object hygiene, exposed services, VPN settings, logging, and rule ordering. These areas often reveal whether the firewall is still aligned with the security posture the organisation believes it has.
Manual reviews can work for small environments, but they become inconsistent as policies, VDOMs, objects, interfaces, and exceptions grow. A repeatable audit process helps teams compare configurations against the same expectations every time instead of relying on whoever happens to perform the review.
ConfigSentry is designed around that repeatable model. It turns FortiGate configuration data into structured findings so engineers can see the affected sections, understand the risk, and prioritise remediation without reading every line of raw CLI output from scratch.
