Auditing PAN-OS security policies involves evaluating zone architecture, security profiles, and App-ID visibility to surface blind spots. The workflow analyzes rule configurations and device-group mappings to generate prioritized remediation findings for compliance reporting.

App-ID coverage assessment validates Security Profile binding within PAN-OS rules to maximize threat visibility. It checks application identification status across devices to ensure encrypted traffic and application-level controls are properly enforced.

Checking decryption policy and SSL forward-proxy coverage evaluates PAN-OS encrypted traffic handling to identify blind spots. The audit assesses decryption readiness and configuration across device-groups to ensure proper visibility into SSL traffic.

Yes, compliance reporting can be generated using read-only access to PAN-OS policy rules, App-ID status, and decryption configuration. The audit produces a rule-by-rule evaluation with traceable findings and prioritized remediation guidance suitable for security compliance.

Yes, zone architecture inventory and policy rule analysis are required during a PAN-OS audit to ensure proper network segmentation. The evaluation workflow checks zone mappings and rule configurations to identify segmentation gaps and misconfigurations.

The PAN-OS audit requires read-only access to policy rules, App-ID status, and decryption configuration to function properly. Without adequate access to device-group mappings and security profiles, the audit cannot generate complete rule-by-rule evaluations or prioritized findings.
