Founder-led

Built from practical firewall engineering experience

Secdit is currently a founder-led project created by Chris Hansford, a network and firewall engineer with more than 20 years of experience across permanent, consulting, and contracting roles.

That experience includes work with organisations of different sizes, across many vendors and technologies, and hundreds of firewall configuration audits and reviews over the course of his career.

Founder-led rather than positioned as a large established vendor
Built by an engineer who has worked across operational, consulting, and contracting environments
Grounded in recurring real-world firewall review work rather than generic product positioning

Why it exists

Built around a practical FortiGate review problem

FortiGate-focused depth

Secdit focuses on FortiGate review rather than broad multi-vendor coverage at a shallow level.

Evidence-led output

The aim is concrete findings and reports that technical teams can use in real review work.

Built from repeated review pain

ConfigSentry grew from recurring firewall review problems seen in day-to-day engineering work.

Why it was created

Built to solve recurring audit problems

ConfigSentry was built from practical experience reviewing firewall configurations across different organisations, vendors, and environments.

It was created to make FortiGate reviews more repeatable, structured, and easier to explain when the same problems keep returning, such as broad rules, weak logging, exposed management access, object drift, and unclear exceptions.
