Misconfiguration, not zero-days, causes most breaches — and firewalls quietly accumulate risky rules over time. We audit your firewalls and devices against CIS benchmarks and least-privilege principles, a white-box service Cyprus IT teams use to remove quiet weaknesses.
You receive a prioritised hardening roadmap covering rule-base, segmentation, logging and management exposure.
Every firewall & configuration review we run is manual and evidence-led — automated scanning alone never tells you which weaknesses actually matter. We map your real environment, not a generic template, then test every path where trust is granted and every place where controls could be bypassed.
The result is clarity: a prioritised, exploitable-risk view of your firewall & configuration review that your team can act on immediately, backed by proof rather than a scanner's guesswork.
For Cyprus enterprises, shipping and maritime firms, ISPs and regulated financial institutions, the cost of a breach is rarely just technical. A weakness that reaches customer or financial data can trigger a NIS2 and ISO 27001 obligation, damage hard-won client trust, and stall deals while security questionnaires go unanswered. Our firewall & configuration review exists to remove that uncertainty before an attacker — or an auditor — finds the gap first.
By proving exactly what is exploitable and what it would cost, we turn a vague worry into a concrete, fundable remediation plan. Cyprus firms use our reports to close real gaps, satisfy CySEC, GDPR and NIS2 expectations, and demonstrate genuine due diligence to clients, partners and insurers — with a free retest to prove the fixes hold.

How we run your engagement
Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your firewall & configuration review is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
Tools & techniques
For Firewall & Configuration Review, that means going deep on firewall rule-base & any-any audit, network segmentation & zoning review and cis benchmark configuration gaps — proven by exploitation, not asserted by a scanner.
We combine disciplined reconnaissance with hands-on exploitation. Service discovery and version mapping start with Nmap and targeted enumeration; where a scanner flags a weakness we validate it by exploitation rather than trusting the alert. Credentialed and uncredentialed checks, manual configuration review and safe exploitation of real attack paths give you an accurate picture of what an attacker on — or reaching into — your network could actually achieve.
Every step follows a documented rules-of-engagement so testing stays non-disruptive to production. We map how one foothold could lead to lateral movement across your Cyprus network, then show the exact chain rather than a list of theoretical CVEs.
When you need this engagement
You are deploying, changing or relying on systems where firewall rule-base & any-any audit would be business-critical
You are merging networks, moving office or migrating infrastructure
A regulator, insurer or enterprise client requires an infrastructure penetration test
You suspect legacy systems or flat network segmentation are increasing your risk
You need annual NIS2 or ISO 27001 evidence for your Cyprus operations
What you receive
Rule-base and config findings
Prioritized hardening roadmap
Benchmark compliance gap analysis
Re-review of applied changes
Your deliverables
When your firewall & configuration review wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:
A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001
Standards & frameworks
CIS BenchmarksNIST SP 800-41ISO 27001 controls
What you gain
By the end of your firewall & configuration review, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every firewall & configuration review begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.
