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

01

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
02

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
03

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.

How we work

This is how we deliver Workshops & Readiness – in clear, traceable steps, predictable and with minimal risk to day-to-day operations.

01

Workshop (day 1)

Joint session with all stakeholders: as-is assessment, visibility and risk.

02

Evaluation (day 2)

Gap analysis, prioritization and derivation of the roadmap.

03

Presentation

Results session with concrete recommendations.

04

Business case (optional)

Decision paper for budget and project start.
