ConfigSentry

Comprehensive FortiGate Firewall Auditing & Compliance

What is it?

ConfigSentry is a purpose-built auditing platform designed exclusively for FortiGate firewalls. It provides deep visibility into your firewall configuration, highlights security risks, and helps ensure your environment aligns with industry-recognised security and compliance standards.

Designed for Real-World Firewall Security

Firewall environments grow complex over time. Policies expand, exceptions pile up, and configuration drift quietly introduces risk. ConfigSentry analyses your FortiGate configuration as a whole—helping you understand not just what is configured, but what that configuration means for your security.

More Than Policy Review

Unlike basic rule-checking tools, ConfigSentry audits the entire FortiGate configuration, including:

  • Firewall policies and rule structure
  • Administrative access and management exposure
  • VPN configuration and security posture
  • Network objects, services, and address groups
  • Logging, monitoring, and visibility settings
  • Configuration consistency and security hygiene

Security & Compliance Alignment

ConfigSentry evaluates your FortiGate firewall against recognised security best practices and compliance frameworks, helping organisations demonstrate due diligence and reduce audit risk.

Supported and referenced standards include:

  • CIS FortiGate Benchmarks
  • Industry security best practices
  • Internal governance and security baselines

Audit results are presented in clear, structured reports that highlight risk level, impact, and recommended remediation.

Flexible Audit Models

ConfigSentry adapts to how your organisation operates, offering two complementary ways to assess firewall security:

Standalone Audits
Ideal for one-off security reviews, change validation, or compliance checks. Upload a FortiGate configuration and receive a detailed audit report highlighting risks, gaps, and improvement opportunities.

Continuous Monitoring
Designed for ongoing security assurance. Continuously assess configuration changes, detect drift from best practices, and maintain long-term compliance as your firewall environment evolves.

Clear Insight for Technical & Non-Technical Teams

Reports generated by ConfigSentry are structured to support firewall engineers, security teams, and management alike—making it easier to prioritise remediation, justify changes, and communicate security posture across the organisation.
