This seems to be more than a little dated, (any time 'gopher' as a protocol on a policy you know you are working with something very old). Beyond that, this doesn't seem to account for anythign beyond a basic firewall implementation (only an inside and outside zone are mentioned, not multiple DMZ's, VPN traffic is assumed to transit the same device).
Thank you for pointing out the age of this policy.
Our policy templates are mapped to both ISO27001 and NIST 800-53 standards in order to apply as broadly as possible to our client base. If there are additional firewall implementation considerations, the templates are highly customizable to reflect those add-ons. We are happy to review people’s policies if that is of interest - just contact your account manager.
We also hope to update these policies within the year and make them more relevant.
Thanks again.
