Zero Trust Cyber Security Framework – Implementation & Readiness Engagement
by Golden Five LLC
Enhance your security posture with Golden Five Consulting’s
Zero Trust Cyber Security Framework implementation. This Managed services engagement helps organizations strengthen identity, data, endpoint, and network protection while aligning with CMMC
Modern threats render perimeter-only defenses insufficient. Our Zero Trust Cyber Security Framework (ZTCSF) engagement helps organizations adopt a “never trust, always verify” model across identities, devices, data, and networks—reducing risk while improving compliance and operational resilience. Built on Microsoft’s reference architecture, the program combines assessment, implementation, and enablement to deliver measurable security outcomes.
Ideal for organizations aligning to CMMC, NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI, this managed services engagement prioritizes high-impact controls and clear handoffs to your security and compliance teams.
What We Deliver
We begin with a focused risk review—identity posture, third‑party access, backup integrity, password policies, desk and physical controls—then configure core Zero Trust safeguards. Identity and access protections include MFA/passwordless authentication, Conditional Access, role-based controls, and governance for privileged roles. Devices are hardened with encryption, EDR, and Intune policies, while data is protected through Microsoft Purview DLP, sensitivity labels, and rights management. Networks gain encrypted connectivity, firewall policies, secure DNS, and email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR provide continuous monitoring and response for end-to-end visibility.
How It Works
The engagement runs in three phases. First, establish foundations: adopt the target compliance framework, ready secure tenants (Microsoft 365 GCC/GCC High and Azure Government as required), and define scope and success metrics. Next, deploy controls and onboard telemetry: endpoint encryption and EDR, Conditional Access and PIM, DLP and labeling, network protections, and SIEM/XDR integration. Finally, operationalize: tune detections, enable dashboards and runbooks, document governance (SSP, BYOD, incident and change management), perform a gap analysis and mock assessment, and transfer knowledge to your team for ongoing operations.
Optional Add‑Ons
Enhance outcomes with automation and governance: NEO Identity (IAM provisioning and least‑privilege), PolicyAck (policy lifecycle and acknowledgments), G5 GRC Management (FedRAMP‑based control mapping and audit prep), G5 Visitor Log (digital visitor tracking), and Microsoft Compliance Manager (real‑time scoring and remediation guidance).
Who Benefits
Security, IT, and compliance leaders in regulated or risk‑sensitive environments who need a pragmatic, standards-aligned path to Zero Trust—delivered quickly, documented thoroughly, and designed for day‑two operations.
Get Started
Adopt Zero Trust quickly and confidently—prioritizing the controls that matter most, validating effectiveness, and preparing for audits with clear artifacts and ownership.
