Rules that have grown over time
Temporary rules stay in place, or are broader than the business process requires.
Managed service · Managed Firewall
Firewall protection does not end with the installation.
Rules, firmware, VPN access and changes in the network need permanent maintenance. BITSS takes on this operational task within a clearly defined scope.
Why this matters
A good firewall can be weakened by poor operation.
Allow-lists that have grown over years, outdated firmware and remote access that is no longer needed create risks you can barely see on the device itself.
Outdated software
Firmware updates are postponed for fear of downtime, or never reviewed systematically at all.
Unclear remote access
VPN accounts, provider access and site connections are not reviewed regularly.
Typical scope of service
What BITSS takes care of on an ongoing basis.
The exact scope depends on your existing IT, your business requirements and the agreed response times.
- Recording of the existing network structure, internet connections and sites
- Setup or controlled takeover of firewall management
- Maintenance of rules, allow-lists and security profiles
- Firmware and security updates following an agreed procedure
- Management of VPN, remote-working and site access
- Documentation of relevant changes and responsibilities
The limits of the service and the interfaces to internal staff or other providers are agreed in writing before we start.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about Managed Firewall.
Does every small company need a professional firewall?
As soon as there are several systems, remote access, cloud services or business-critical data, network access should be deliberately secured and managed.
How is this different from a one-off firewall project?
With a managed firewall, operation, changes, updates and documented responsibilities are a permanent part of the service.
Can existing hardware continue to be used?
That is assessed on the basis of security status, vendor support, performance and maintainability. Replacement is not an end in itself.
How is remote-working access secured?
Through controlled VPN access, suitable authentication and limited permissions. The specific implementation depends on the existing infrastructure.
