In general, these security features are good, and certainly well-intended. However, in the case where you have a specific need to accept "unsolicted" traffic, such as remote access to filter your mobile devices, or for maintenance access by Compass, these security features can get in the way, and need to be disabled.
Is this degrading your security profile? Well, it's a tradeoff. Any time you grant additional access, you're theoretically increasing the potential attack surface. In general, however, if your firewall is configured correctly, there is no need to worry.
