Network Security Policy Management (NSPM) compliance software
Govern firewalls and network policy operationally — device inventory, rule-base analysis, findings and compliance checks in one workspace.
What NSPM requires
Network Security Policy Management is GRCLens's operational workspace for firewall and network-policy governance: an inventory of enforcement devices, analysis of their rule bases, findings for risky or non-compliant rules, and compliance views that map network reality to your frameworks.
Compliance frameworks ask whether network access is restricted and segmented; NSPM shows whether it actually is. Rule-base analysis surfaces overly permissive rules, shadowed and unused rules, and changes over time — the operational truth behind the control assessment.
Findings flow into the same assurance discipline as the rest of the platform: owned, tracked and evidenced, so a risky rule found in analysis becomes a remediated, verifiable record rather than a forgotten spreadsheet row.
Who it applies to
- Network and security operations teams managing firewall estates
- Organisations evidencing segmentation controls for ECC, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS
- Enterprises consolidating multi-vendor firewall governance
- Teams preparing network evidence for audits and assessments
At a glance
- Module type: Operational workspace (product module)
- Core objects: Devices, rule bases, findings, compliance checks
- Integrations: Vendor connectors for device import and analysis
- Output: Findings register and framework-mapped compliance views
How GRCLens supports NSPM
NSPM runs on the same shared control model as every other framework in GRCLens, so evidence captured once can satisfy several obligations at the same time.
Device inventory
A structured inventory of firewalls and enforcement points with metadata, ownership and status.
Rule-base analysis
Automated analysis flags overly permissive, shadowed and unused rules with severity and context.
Findings workflow
Analysis results become owned findings tracked to remediation — the assurance loop applied to network policy.
Framework mapping
Compliance views connect network posture to the segmentation and access controls your frameworks assess.
NSPM frequently asked questions
Is NSPM a compliance framework?
No — it is an operational module. It provides the network-policy evidence that framework assessments such as NCA-ECC, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS rely on.
Which devices are supported?
Devices are imported through connectors and structured imports; the module is vendor-neutral in its inventory and findings model.
How do findings reach the auditors?
Findings carry owner, severity, status and evidence, and can be referenced from control assessments — giving auditors the operational trail behind the answer.
Does NSPM replace our firewall manager?
No. It governs and evidences policy quality and compliance; day-to-day rule administration stays in your management tools.
