Pricing questions
What clients usually ask before scheduling.
How much does a firewall security audit cost?
A focused single-firewall review starts at the amount shown above. Multiple platforms, large rulebases, numerous VPNs, cloud controls, and missing documentation increase the effort.
Will you change firewall rules during the audit?
No production change is assumed in the audit price. Findings are validated and documented first; approved remediation can be planned separately with rollback and change-control requirements.
What should we prepare?
Provide read-only configuration access or exports, network diagrams, public IP and VPN inventories, rule owners, recent change records, and relevant logging details.
Confirm the right scope before you commit.
Call for a confidential conversation or send the basic environment details you already have. OC Security Audit will confirm objectives, exclusions, access, timing, deliverables, and a written fee.
