Network & Zero Trust
Make access a deliberate decision.
Zero Trust is an architecture: verify explicitly, apply least privilege and assume breach. It connects decisions about people, devices, networks and data; it is not a single product purchase.
The intended output
A control roadmap with ownership, policy dependencies and testable access decisions.
Scope and acceptance criteria are agreed during discovery. Product selection follows your requirements, licensing and operating responsibilities.
Map what needs protection
Identify business services, data sensitivity, users, device types and traffic flows. Review LAN/WAN architecture, DNS, DHCP, IP address management and network monitoring.
Constrain the paths
Design segmentation, next-generation firewalls, secure wireless, network access control and appropriate VPN or ZTNA. Evaluate SD-WAN against office and application connectivity needs.
Verify every access boundary
Align MFA, Conditional Access, device compliance and role-based permissions. Define privileged access, service accounts and policy enforcement with exception ownership.
Exercise the controls
Test allowed and denied paths, logging, response coordination and recovery. Review privileges and vulnerabilities as the business and threat environment change.
Plan the dependencies
Know what needs
to be true first.
- Policy must be tested against critical workflows before enforcement.
- Some identity, risk and privileged-access capabilities require additional licenses.
- Security design and compliance evidence require people, process and contractual responsibilities.
