Govern every change — with a trail to prove it.
Change Governance checks every firewall change for risk and policy violations before it's deployed, and keeps a complete, auditable record of who approved what — so change is controlled, not chaotic.
Most policy drift starts with an un-reviewed change.
Firewall changes are frequent, urgent, and often approved on trust. Without pre-change validation, risky or non-compliant rules slip in; without a trail, you can't prove who approved them or why. Change Governance puts a checkpoint and a record on every change.
What it does.
The building blocks of the module — each one searchable, evidenced, and inside your perimeter.
Pre-change risk validation
Assess each proposed change for risk, over-permission, and policy violations before it ships.
Approval workflow
Route changes through the right approvers with clear, recorded decisions.
Policy & compliance checks
Catch changes that would violate segmentation or framework controls before they land.
Complete audit trail
Keep an immutable record of every change: who, what, when, and why.
Change reconciliation
Compare intended changes against what actually landed on the firewalls.
Exception governance
Capture and track approved exceptions with ownership and expiry.
From connected to in control.
Propose the change
A requested change is captured with its intent and scope.
Validate before it ships
OpClerk checks it for risk and policy violations and routes it for approval.
Approve and record
Approved changes are logged as an immutable, examiner-ready record.
What control looks like, measured.

Questions teams ask.
OpClerk governs and records the change process and validates risk before approval; deployment integrates with your existing change tooling. Push automation is confirmed during scoping.
Risk and over-permission, segmentation and policy violations, and conflicts with existing rules — before a change is approved.
Yes. Every change keeps an immutable who/what/when/why record that maps to change-management controls in SAMA CSF, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.
