Five-Year Managed Configuration Governance and Exit Readiness

FC-10-F50G5-660-02-60 supplies five years of Managed FortiGate Service for one eligible FortiGate 50G-5G. Fortinet NOC experts support device setup and approved network or policy changes, while the customer controls design intent, risk decisions and authorization.

Define durable management ownership

Document which teams and tools may change the firewall, how direct emergency access is controlled and how automation fits the exclusive central-management model. Revisit ownership after staff, supplier or branch changes so unmanaged configuration drift does not develop.

Maintain a governed request catalogue

Classify standard, routine, emergency and project changes with evidence and approval requirements. Preserve reusable templates for routing, VPN, 5G failover, objects and policy changes. Use rejection and rollback trends to improve design and operating instructions.

Run an annual access and evidence review

Reconcile administrators, initiators and approvers, remove stale accounts and test backup authorization. Retain request records, approved intent, implementation results, post-change validation and rollback evidence according to internal policy.

Use a midterm device-lifecycle gate

Align the service with firmware support, branch plans, hardware replacement and HA membership. Each managed appliance needs an active entitlement. Confirm transfer and management-tunnel treatment before replacing a serial or consolidating a site.

Prepare continuity and exit

Keep a customer-owned configuration baseline, topology and recovery-access record. Define how operational knowledge and required configurations will be retained if the service is not renewed or if no managed entitlements remain under the account.

Ordering boundary

The five-year line excludes firewall hardware, FortiCare replacement, SOC monitoring, carrier service, unlimited transformation work and business approval. Confirm serials, account, region, supported request catalogue, co-term and exit terms.
