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)
