FortiGuard Category Document

I am a consultant that is in need of providing a document to my customers that lists the categories/sub-categories of the FortiGuard services and provide them the option of selecting the action of allow, block or monitor. Before I spend my time creating something like this, does anyone out there have something similar to this they wouldn' t mind sharing? OR, does Fortinet provide anything like this and I am just missing it in the FortiGuard center? Thanks, Jeffrey
