It boils down to the Exchange-Server setup. If he is using a
frontend-backend Exchange configuration and requests port 443 to be
forwarded, I see no inherent security concerns about this. In general, I see
no security implications about forwarding ports. I just depends on the
servers, on which these ports are forwarded to.
