    A firewall ruleset has to meet business requirements. No rule is to be
    allowed that is not covered by a signed request from someone in charge
    (CEx). Checking that is not possible with tools, so it's logical there
    is nothing to be found.
    
    For documenting a FWs ruleset for comparison see e.g.

    Astaro)
