I would recommend the kerios personal firewall. It has a rule table that can be exported for use on other hosts. There may even be a way of configuring the .msi file to install the app with your chosen rule set. However I am sure that all of the personal firewalls our only free to personal use. So there will be a fee for company use, might be worth checking the licence plans on offer.
