About this Gig
Running a Sophos firewall without proper configuration leaves your network exposed misconfigured rules, open ports, and weak VPN policies are common and dangerous.

- Firewall rule design and cleanup
- NAT and routing configuration
- IPsec and SSL VPN setup
- Web filtering and application control
- IPS/WAF policy tuning
- Security hardening with documented findings
Works on physical appliances, VMware/Hyper-V virtual deployments, and cloud-hosted Sophos firewalls.

FAQ
Do you offer ongoing support after installation?
Not included in standard packages, but I'm available for follow-up work via custom orders. If you need ongoing management, message me before ordering and we can discuss options.
Can you work with both new and existing Sophos Firewalls?
Yes. I handle both fresh deployments and existing setups. For existing configurations, I audit first before making changes to avoid disrupting your network.
Do you configure the firewall to meet ISO 27001 or compliance requirements?
Yes. As an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor, I configure Sophos firewalls with compliance in mind — logging controls, network segmentation, and access control policies aligned to ISO 27001 Annex A. If you're pursuing certification, I can align your firewall configuration to your ISMS requirements.
Which Sophos models and firmware versions do you support?
Full XG and XGS Series — XGS 87 through 336 and larger. SFOS 18.x through 20.x. Also VMware, Hyper-V, and cloud-hosted on AWS and Azure. Have an older XG model? Message me first to confirm compatibility.
Do you need remote access to my firewall?
Yes, temporary admin access is required. I work via secure remote sessions (TeamViewer or AnyDesk). Access is only used during the project and I don't store credentials after completion.
