Firewall Security Review — Sample Audit Report (Palo Alto)

This is a complete, real-world example of the Palo Alto firewall security review I deliver for clients — free to download so you can see exactly what you get before you ever hire me.It's a full configuration audit of a Palo Alto PA-3220 (PAN-OS 11.1) for a fictional healthcare practice, "Rowan Medical Group," written the way an attacker reads a config and a network engineer fixes it. Inside you'll find:• A plain-English executive summary a business owner can actually understand• 17 findings, each ranked by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low) and tied to CIS benchmark references• The exact config evidence for every finding, with line numbers• Paste-ready PAN-OS CLI remediation for every single fix — not "consider reviewing your rules," but the actual set commands to run, with sequencing notes so you don't drop a VPN or lock yourself out• A prioritized roadmap (this week / this month / this quarter) with effort estimatesThis one highlights a finding most scanners walk right past: allow rules with no Security Profile Group attached — where the firewall permits the traffic but inspects none of it for malware or exploits. An open pipe with the inspection lights off. Catching that is the difference between a scan and a real audit.Why free? Because the fastest way to earn your trust is to show you the work. If the sample is this thorough, imagine what a review of your actual config looks like.Backed by 28 years in network and security engineering — Palo Alto (including GlobalProtect and Panorama-managed environments), Cisco ASA & Firepower, Fortinet, Check Point, and Juniper.Running Palo Alto and not sure it's tuned right?
