What AuditXA Checks on FortiGate

25+ security controls checked across every major FortiOS hardening category.

🔐

Admin Access Hardening

Checks for admin interface exposed on WAN, default account names, weak password policy, missing MFA, trusted host restrictions and session timeouts.

🔍

SSL Inspection

Verifies deep SSL/TLS inspection is configured on outbound policies. Over 85% of malware uses encrypted channels — uninspected HTTPS is a critical gap.

📋

Firewall Policy Review

Flags overly permissive rules (any/any), unused policies, rules without logging, missing application control and missing IPS profiles.

📡

Logging & Monitoring

Checks FortiAnalyzer/syslog configuration, log levels, disk logging settings and whether denied traffic is being logged for incident response.

🌐

VPN Configuration

Reviews IPsec and SSL VPN settings for weak encryption, missing DPD, default pre-shared keys, split tunnelling policy and two-factor enforcement.

⚙️

System Hardening

Checks SNMP community strings, NTP configuration, DNS over TLS, firmware version, unused services disabled and management VLAN isolation.

Sample Findings

These are real finding types from FortiGate audits. Severity, description and exact CLI fix included for every issue.

CriticalAdmin Interface Exposed on WAN InterfaceCIS FortiGate 1.1.1
The FortiGate admin HTTPS interface is accessible from the WAN interface, exposing it to brute-force and exploitation from the public internet.

Current config:
set allowaccess https ssh ping ← on wan1
Fix:
✅ Remove https and ssh from WAN allowaccess. Restrict to management VLAN only.
set allowaccess ping
CriticalSSL Deep Inspection Not Enabled on Internet PoliciesNSA-FW-3.1
No SSL/TLS inspection profile applied to outbound internet traffic. Malware delivered over HTTPS is invisible to IPS and AV engines without deep inspection.

Fix:
✅ Apply deep-inspection SSL profile to all outbound internet policies.
set ssl-ssh-profile "deep-inspection"
HighPassword Policy Below Minimum RequirementsCIS FortiGate 1.3.1
Admin password minimum length set to 8 characters with lockout threshold of 10 attempts. CIS requires minimum 16 characters and lockout after 5 attempts.

Fix:
✅ set minimum-length 16 / set lockout-threshold 5 / set lockout-duration 900
