Job Details

Skills

  • firewall audit
  • Deep Rule-Level Audit Work
  • Manual Audit
  • Audit Documentation

Summary

Engagement Type

  • Internal firewall audit supporting a county Internal Audit team
  • Not a penetration test and not a purely tool-driven compliance review
  • Deep, process-heavy audit in an environment with limited pre-documented controls

Required Technical Skills

  • Hands-on experience auditing internal firewalls (not just perimeter/external)
  • Strong practical knowledge of firewall rule sets, including:
    • Ports, services, zones, directions, and rule logic
    • Administrative access controls and least-privilege enforcement
  • Ability to manually analyze large firewall configuration exports and log data (millions of records if needed)
  • Experience validating controls when automated tools (e.g., Tenable/CIS scans) are incomplete, misconfigured, or unavailable
  • Comfort extracting evidence directly from firewall platforms (e.g., Palo Alto) and explaining findings at a granular level

Audit & Process Expectations

  • Experience with internal audit environments where:
    • Controls are not fully documented up front
    • The auditor helps identify, validate, and document controls during the engagement
  • Ability to assess and document:
    • Secure configuration baselines
    • Change management workflows (tickets, approvals, testing, deployment)
    • Patch and firmware management accountability
    • Compensating controls and risk acceptance
  • Capable of producing detailed workpapers with clear attributes, observations, and conclusions (not just checklist results)

Soft Skills / Fit

  • Comfortable working collaboratively with Internal Audit teams
  • Able to explain technical findings clearly to non-engineers
  • Flexible, non-rigid audit mindset (not limited to this is / isn t an audit step framing)
