As-is assessment
Where does the organization stand today?
- Maturity against the five security domains
- Identity, device posture and access per application
- Visibility, governance plus log and flow data
- Technical and organizational gaps
Workshops & Readiness
Zero Trust readiness workshops, architecture reviews and gap analyses as the foundation for successful implementation.
Compact workshops produce a shared target picture; we assess your Zero Trust and SASE/SSE maturity and uncover the gaps to the target architecture – the foundation for successful implementation.
The Zero Trust readiness workshop creates clarity: replace the VPN, stop lateral movement, control data – with a robust gap analysis and a prioritized implementation plan.
Before you invest, clarity pays off. Moderated workshops bring together stakeholders from IT, security and the business; requirements are sharpened and prioritized together – creating a viable, aligned target picture for Zero Trust, SASE/SSE and segmentation.
Architecture reviews and gap analyses show objectively where today’s environment stands against the target architecture and which steps offer the greatest leverage. The result is a solid assessment of where you stand, with concrete, prioritized recommendations.
Ideal at project start or as a baseline assessment before investing in Zero Trust and SASE/SSE.
In the workshop
Communication & risk
What talks to what?
- Critical applications and “crown jewels”
- North-south: remote access, SaaS and internet
- East-west: workload communication as a real-time graph
- Any-to-any, overly broad permissions and shadow access
Gap analysis & roadmap
What comes first?
- Target vs. actual against a realistic target picture
- Prioritization by risk and impact
- Pilot: secure app access and a first segmentation zone
- Quick wins and a 30/60/90-day plan
- Decision paper for budget and start
The maturity model: the five pillars
The CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM 2.0) structures Zero Trust along five security domains, connected by three cross-cutting capabilities. Each pillar is assessed separately in the workshop – from “Traditional” to “Optimal”.
Identity
Who is accessing?
Authentication and authorization of every user and service account – phishing-resistant MFA, context-based policies and continuous risk assessment instead of a one-time login.
Devices
What is used to access?
Inventory and posture checks for all endpoints – managed and unmanaged. Device compliance as a prerequisite for every access, monitored continuously.
Networks
How are things connected?
No trust based on network location – encrypted traffic, microsegmentation and containment of lateral movement instead of flat, permeable networks.
Applications & Workloads
What is being accessed?
Granular, identity-based access per application – on-prem and cloud. No direct exposure; access is verified and authorized before the connection.
Data
What is being protected?
Classification, encryption and continuous monitoring of sensitive data in every state. DLP and label-based controls prevent uncontrolled exfiltration.
Connecting cross-cutting capabilities
Visibility & analytics, automation & orchestration, and governance – the three capabilities that tie all five pillars into a measurable, adaptive strategy.
