Zero Trust Accelerator

For many organisations, security investments have grown in silos - identity, endpoint, cloud and data, making it difficult to prioritise risk, prove progress, or deliver measurable business value. The Zero Trust Accelerator is a focused six-week engagement designed to cut through that complexity, giving you a clear, evidence-based view of your current security posture and the risks that matter most. It translates this into a practical, phased roadmap and a defined first wave of action so you can strengthen resilience, reduce exposure, and demonstrate tangible progress quickly. Where relevant, insights are grounded in Microsoft platform data and readiness signals, ensuring decisions are based on real-world evidence, not just workshop assumptions. Led by Advania, the engagement combines proven Zero Trust frameworks with practical delivery experience to align security, infrastructure, networking, and compliance stakeholders around a shared target state. This will provide you with a practical delivery path, clearer consensus on what should happen first, and a bounded first-wave plan that can move into implementation where required.

What's included

• A clear Zero Trust direction for the priority pillars in scope.
• A Microsoft-native readiness baseline where Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Azure are key anchors.
• A prioritised roadmap and backlog with wave boundaries and dependencies.
• A first-wave scope and plan focused on the biggest risk reducers.
• Evidence-first success measures with baseline and post-change assurance.
• Governance hooks: ownership, exceptions, and KPI cadence.

The Zero Trust Accelerator is delivered between six to twelve weeks starting at £22,000 for the discovery and roadmap, and an additional £19,000 for the first wave of implementation. Contact us to check your eligibility.
