Zero Trust Assessment

“Never trust, always verify” is a slogan; an architecture is a plan. We assess how far your environment really is from one.

Request a scoping call Our methodology

Why this matters: Most “zero trust” projects stall because the concept gets sold as a product instead of an architecture. We published a full implementation guide on this site because the useful question is not “do you have zero trust?” but “which of your trust boundaries still assume the network is safe?” This assessment answers that, concretely.

What we cover

Identity perimeter: what an identity can actually reach
Network segmentation and east-west movement paths
Device trust and conditional access coverage
Service-to-service and machine identity gaps
Access policy review: standing vs. just-in-time privilege
A pragmatic, phased implementation roadmap

How we test

1Map trust boundaries

Where your environment still grants implicit trust: networks, service accounts, legacy apps.

2Assess controls

Identity, device, network, and data controls scored against zero-trust principles — where you are, honestly.

3Attack-path view

Which current gaps an attacker could exploit — the risk case for each improvement.

4Phased roadmap

Quick wins first, then structural changes — sequenced so each phase delivers standalone risk reduction.

What you get

Trust-boundary map of your environment
Control-by-control zero-trust gap assessment
Attack-path justification for each investment
A phased, budget-aware implementation roadmap

The engagement at a glance

📞 Free scoping call

A short conversation about your environment. You receive a written scope, timeline, and fixed quote — no obligation.

✍️ Signed authorization

Testing begins only with your written permission and agreed rules of engagement. Always.

⏱️ Time-boxed delivery

A calendar agreed before we start, with an agreed communication plan while testing runs.

🔁 Retest included

A verification pass over everything you fix — included in the price, not an add-on.

Common questions

Do we need to rip out our VPN to do zero trust?

No. Pragmatic zero trust is phased: tighten identity and access controls first, segment high-value assets, and retire implicit trust gradually. The roadmap reflects where you start.

Is zero trust only for large enterprises?

No — smaller environments often reach meaningful zero-trust posture faster because there is less legacy to unwind.

How does this relate to your cloud review?

The cloud review audits specific platforms; this assessment looks across your whole environment — network, identity, devices — through a zero-trust lens. They complement each other.

Authorization first, always. Testing happens only with your written permission and agreed rules of engagement — the same ethics that govern responsible disclosure on this site.
