Zero trust

Zero trust consulting services, from assessment to rollout

Zero trust means no user, device or connection is trusted by default. We assess where you stand, design an architecture that fits your environment and implement it in phases, starting with the controls that cut the most risk for the least disruption.

Why it matters

Flat networks and trusted VPNs make attacks easy to spread

In a traditional network, anyone inside the perimeter or connected to the VPN can reach far more than they need. When one laptop or account is compromised, the attacker can often move from there to file servers, backups and domain controllers.

Zero trust architecture limits that. Every request is checked against who the user is, the health of the device and what the application needs, and access is granted only to that application. Segmentation stops a single compromise from becoming a company-wide incident.

Zero trust is a program built over time, often from controls you already own. Our job is to sequence that work so each phase delivers a measurable reduction in risk.

Zero trust architecture

The areas a zero trust program covers

Identity

Strong authentication, conditional access and least-privilege roles for every user and admin.

Identity and access

Devices

Device health and compliance checks before a laptop or phone is allowed to reach company resources.

Network segmentation

Segments and firewall policies that limit how far an attacker can move inside your network.

ZTNA

Zero trust network access that connects users to specific applications, replacing broad VPN access.

Applications and data

Access policies, data classification and controls on where sensitive information can go.

Visibility and response

Logging and monitoring that confirm controls are working and catch misuse quickly.

How it works

How we deliver zero trust implementation services

1

Zero trust assessment

We review identity, devices, network, applications and monitoring, and score your maturity in each area.

2

Architecture and roadmap

We design the target architecture and a phased roadmap, using the tools you already own wherever they fit.

3

Phased implementation

We implement controls in waves, piloting with small groups, measuring impact and adjusting before each wider rollout.

4

Monitor and mature

Controls are monitored and reviewed, and the roadmap is updated as your environment and threats change.

FAQ

Zero trust questions

Zero trust consulting covers the assessment of your current controls, the design of a target architecture and a phased plan to get there. Our engagements can also include the implementation work across identity, devices, network and applications.

A zero trust assessment measures how close you are to verifying every user, device and connection. We look at identity, device management, segmentation, remote access, application access and monitoring, and give you a maturity score and a prioritized roadmap.

Zero trust network access connects users to individual applications after checking identity and device health, instead of placing them on the network like a VPN. Many organizations replace most VPN use with ZTNA over time, while keeping VPN for a few specific needs.

Often less than you expect. Many organizations already own identity, endpoint and firewall features that support zero trust but are not configured for it. We start with what you have and recommend new tools only where there is a gap.

Cost depends on the size of your environment, how many applications and sites are in scope, the tools you already own and how much of the implementation you want us to do. We price the assessment first, then each implementation phase separately.

Zero trust is built in phases. Early phases, such as MFA, conditional access and segmenting critical systems, can deliver meaningful risk reduction quickly. The full program usually runs over a longer period as applications and sites are brought in.
