From PCI-DSS compliance in financial services to HIPAA validation in healthcare, PolicySafeguard adapts to your industry's unique security requirements and regulatory challenges.
A global payment processor handles millions of transactions daily across cardholder data environments (CDE). PCI-DSS Requirement 1.2 mandates strict network segmentation between CDE and all other networks, with quarterly validation required.
Manual firewall reviews took 5 days per quarter. Security team struggled to validate 15,000+ rules across Check Point and Palo Alto firewalls. Auditors requested proof that CDE segmentation was continuously enforced, not just spot-checked.
Critical Pain Points: Inability to prove continuous compliance, risk of audit failure, developer frustration with slow security reviews blocking deployments, lack of visibility into policy drift between audits.
PolicySafeguard deployed with custom PCI-DSS rule pack validating Requirement 1.2 (network segmentation), 1.3 (prohibit direct internet access), and 1.4 (stateful firewalls). Pre-built checks for CDE boundary enforcement.
Implementation: CI/CD integration blocks any policy change that weakens CDE segmentation. Automated daily scans detect drift. Real-time alerts when critical controls are modified. Compliance dashboard shows PCI requirements coverage.
Audit Preparation: One-click compliance report generates evidence for Requirement 1. Historical change logs prove continuous monitoring. Policy snapshots demonstrate control effectiveness over time.
"PolicySafeguard transformed our PCI compliance from a quarterly scramble to continuous, automated assurance. Our last audit had zero findings related to firewall policies." - CISO, Payment Processing Industry

Regional healthcare system with 12 hospitals must protect electronic protected health information (ePHI) under HIPAA Security Rule 164.312(e). Network segmentation between patient data systems and general corporate network is mandatory.
Firewall policies evolved organically over 8 years. No documentation on which rules protected ePHI access paths. Fear that misconfigured policies could expose patient records or violate HIPAA access controls.
Critical Pain Points: Unknown compliance posture, missing audit logs on sensitive rules, potential OCR investigation risk, inability to demonstrate technical safeguards to compliance officers.
PolicySafeguard deployed with HIPAA-specific rule pack validating 164.312(a)(1) access controls, 164.312(b) audit controls, and 164.312(e) transmission security. Custom checks for ePHI network boundaries.
Implementation: Baseline scan identified 47 critical issues including missing encryption requirements, inadequate logging on ePHI access rules, overly permissive VPN access without MFA enforcement.
Continuous Monitoring: Automated weekly scans ensure ePHI segmentation remains intact. Change approval workflow requires compliance officer sign-off for policies affecting patient data networks.
"We finally have visibility into our HIPAA technical safeguards. PolicySafeguard gave us confidence that patient data is protected at the network level." - Director of InfoSec, Healthcare Industry

Leading online retailer deploys infrastructure changes 50+ times per day during peak season. Black Friday/Cyber Monday require rapid scaling without compromising security. Traditional manual firewall reviews create deployment bottlenecks.
Previous incident: Overly permissive firewall rule deployed during flash sale exposed internal database to internet. Caught 6 hours later during security review. Potential breach of 2M customer records narrowly avoided.
Critical Pain Points: Security team can't keep pace with DevOps velocity, production incidents from bad policies, pressure to skip security checks during critical sales events, lack of pre-deployment validation.
PolicySafeguard integrated into GitLab CI/CD pipeline as mandatory security gate. Every infrastructure change scanned before deployment. Custom rules detect database exposure, unrestricted internet access, missing DDoS protection.
Implementation: Pipeline fails if scan detects high/critical issues. Developers get instant feedback with remediation guidance. Medium severity generates warnings but allows deployment with security team notification.
Peak Season Readiness: Pre-event policy review identified and fixed potential issues. Real-time monitoring during Black Friday ensured no risky changes slipped through despite deployment frenzy.
"PolicySafeguard eliminated the false choice between speed and security. We deployed 200+ times during Black Friday with zero security issues." - VP Engineering, E-Commerce Industry

Global manufacturing company operates 200+ firewalls across 45 countries: Check Point in EMEA, Palo Alto in Americas, legacy Cisco ASA in APAC. Merger & acquisition activity added more vendor diversity.
Each platform uses different policy syntax, management tools, and best practices. Security standards inconsistently applied across vendors. No unified visibility into global firewall posture. Audit findings varied by region.
Critical Pain Points: Inability to enforce global security standards, regional security teams working in silos, compliance gaps in acquired companies, lack of centralized policy governance.
PolicySafeguard's vendor-agnostic analysis normalizes Check Point, Palo Alto, and Cisco configurations into unified format. Global security standards defined once, applied to all platforms automatically.
Implementation: Custom rule pack encodes corporate security policy: no Any/Any rules, mandatory logging on internet-facing rules, VPN must use strong encryption, geo-blocking for sanctioned countries.
Global Dashboard: Executive view shows security posture across all firewalls regardless of vendor. Drill-down reveals regional compliance gaps. Standardized reporting for global audits.
"PolicySafeguard gave us vendor-agnostic policy governance we desperately needed. Finally, one security standard enforced globally across all platforms." - Global CISO, Manufacturing Industry

Financial services firm migrating 300 applications from on-premise data centers to AWS over 18 months. Must maintain security posture during migration. Hybrid architecture mixes on-prem Check Point with AWS Security Groups and NACLs.
Cloud security groups use different paradigm than traditional firewalls. Development teams unfamiliar with security group best practices. Risk that cloud migration weakens network security controls.
Critical Pain Points: Security policy inconsistency between on-prem and cloud, lack of cloud security expertise, difficulty validating equivalent security in AWS, compliance concerns during migration.
PolicySafeguard validates both Check Point policies and AWS Security Group configurations. Unified analysis ensures equivalent security controls regardless of platform. Migration validation checks confirm cloud security matches on-prem baseline.
Implementation: Pre-migration scan documents on-prem security posture. Post-migration scan verifies AWS security groups enforce same controls. Automated comparison highlights security gaps requiring remediation.
Continuous Validation: CI/CD integration prevents deployment of insecure Terraform/CloudFormation templates. Infrastructure-as-Code scanned before applying to AWS. Shift-left security for cloud infrastructure.
"PolicySafeguard ensured our cloud migration didn't compromise security. We proved to auditors that AWS security groups provide equivalent protection to on-prem firewalls." - Cloud Security Lead, Financial Services

MSSP manages firewalls for 85 clients across diverse industries. Each client has unique security requirements, compliance mandates, and risk tolerances. Manual policy reviews don't scale to this client base.
Clients demand proof of security diligence: regular reports, change documentation, compliance evidence. Security analysts overwhelmed reviewing policies across 400+ firewalls. SLA breaches for policy change approvals.
