Clear Oversight, Continuous Improvement 

Firewalls are only as effective as the discipline around them. Without governance, service drift sets in, rules remain unchecked, improvements stall, and accountability weakens. For CXOs and CISOs, lack of oversight translates directly into unmanaged risk and uncomfortable boardroom conversations. 

 

What Goes Wrong Without Reviews 

When governance and reviews are absent, you face: 

• Unclear ownership of firewall policy and rule changes 
• Service performance issues that go unnoticed until audits 
• No improvement roadmap to adapt to evolving threats 
• Stakeholders left in the dark on outcomes and risks 

The result is a service that runs, but without evidence of progress or alignment to business needs. 

 

How Proactive Brings Discipline To Firewall Governance 

Proactive Managed Firewall integrates governance into the service lifecycle. We schedule quarterly reviews that track metrics, incidents, and improvement actions. Dashboards and reports provide evidence for both technical teams and executives. Ownership is clear, responsibilities are documented, and changes are transparent. Governance is not a one-off meeting; it is a structured process built into the service. 

 

What You Get 

• Quarterly service reviews: Covering performance, incidents, and improvements 
• Clear accountability: Named owners for policies and actions 
• Outcome dashboards: Reporting that resonates with both engineers and boards 
• Roadmap for improvement: Actions agreed and tracked across cycles 
• Transparency: Evidence delivered without last-minute scrambles 

The Outcomes We Deliver 

• Assurance that service outcomes are monitored and proven 
• Stakeholders aligned on priorities and risks 
• Ongoing improvements rather than reactive fixes 
• Confidence at board level that firewalls are governed, not just operated 

Governance That Proves Control 

Oversight cannot be optional. With Proactive Managed Firewall, governance and reviews are part of the service, ensuring firewalls remain aligned to your business, your regulators, and your board.
