FortiOS VDOM segmentation audit with UTM profile binding validation, FortiGuard service health assessment, SD-WAN security evaluation, and HA cluster posture check. Systematic per-VDOM policy analysis for FortiGate appliances and FortiGate-VM instances.

When to use

• Post-change policy review after rule additions or VDOM topology changes
• VDOM segmentation audit verifying inter-VDOM link isolation and per-VDOM policy independence
• UTM profile coverage assessment — finding allow policies without antivirus, IPS, or web-filter inspection
• SD-WAN security evaluation — confirming SLA violations do not steer traffic around security controls
• FortiGuard license and connectivity validation — ensuring signature databases are current
• HA cluster security posture check — verifying firmware parity, config sync, and session-sync settings
• Quarterly or annual compliance audit requiring per-policy justification
• Pre-upgrade baseline before FortiOS major version changes
