This service is delivered in two independent phases: Phase 1: Zero Trust Deployment Two Zero Trust deployment options depending on customer size and requirements:

Modular Zero Trust Implementation Service: Customizable Zero Trust implementation with expanded scope for commercial and enterprise customers.

We help customers implement Zero Trust across the following three core pillars. Data Security: We help you identify and address gaps in how your data is managed, protected and secured. From data encryption to loss prevention, we ensure that your sensitive information is governed by the right policies and compliance standards by using Microsoft Purview solutions

Identity and Access Management: We assess your current environment, identify vulnerabilities and security gaps and design a solution that ensures the right people can access the right information at the right time. By implementing Entra ID, Microsoft Defender for Identity, Cloud Apps and Office 365, we’ll help you lock down identities and access, reducing risk while strengthening your control over who can access sensitive data.

Endpoint Protection: We will help you address gaps in your device security across platforms, operating systems and more ensuring every endpoint is protected. By implementing a “least privileged access model” and leveraging Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Intune, we ensure your devices remain secure, compliant and easily trackable – so that you can be confident your business is protected, no matter where your employees work from.
