Zero Trust Security

Don't just secure your business—elevate it

In today's digital landscape of remote work, cloud services, and SaaS applications, traditional security measures fall short. Zero Trust isn't just a technology—it's a transformative strategy that aligns security with your business goals.

Why Zero Trust Security?

Amidst digital hypergrowth and relentless cyber threats, legacy perimeter-based defenses are obsolete. Zero Trust Security isn't just a technology upgrade—it's a strategic revolution that fortifies your defenses while propelling your business forward.

Zero Trust weaves security into the fabric of your operations, creating an intelligent shield around your assets and sensitive data. It recognizes that in a world where cloud applications are ubiquitous, digital trust can never be assumed—it must be continuously verified.

By shifting from perimeter-based defenses to identity-centric, fine-grained access controls, Zero Trust empowers your organization to thrive in the digital age. It's not just about protecting your business—it's about transforming security into your competitive advantage.

How we approach each engagement

We follow Zero Trust Design Principles espoused by NIST and industry leaders.

 

ZeroTrust needs to align with business outcomes, not prevent the business from operating effectively

Start with the thing you want to protect. Identify the workflows, who would be doing them, and what they would be doing (apply Kipling method).

Knowing who/what needs access is key. In Zero Trust, access can only be obtained through evaluation and assignment of a policy to an identity.

All traffic going to and from a protect surface must be inspected and logged for malicious content and unauthorized activity, up through Layer 7.

 

How to get started with Zero Trust

Start small and iterate.
A common problem is trying to do everything all at once.

We break down the journey into iterations, which are focused on individual “protect surfaces”. This allows a bite sized, iterative approach to making progress with your Zero Trust journey.

Once fluency is established, apply to the most critical protect surfaces in the organization and work backwards from there.

Zero Trust Learning Curve

Zero Trust is a journey.

From NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture:

Implementing ZTA is a journey rather than a wholesale replacement of infrastructure or processes. An organization should seek to incrementally implement zero trust principles, process changes, and technology solutions that protect its highest value data assets.

Typical Work Packages

  • Security Assessment

    There is a baseline of cybersecurity competence that an organization must have before it becomes possible to deploy a Zero Trust Architecture. We work with you on IAM, networks, assets, and technical capabilities to develop a clear picture of security posture and Zero Trust readiness, along with a plan to get there.

  • Zero Trust Strategy

    A Zero Trust strategy is unique to each business. We work with you to produce the desired target state, articulating the necessary components such as Policy Enforcement Points, Policy Decision Points, Identity Platform, and how your Zero Trust Architecture fits into the broader organizational security landscape.

  • Zero Trust Execution

    Using our design principles, we work with your teams through our methodology to implement the Zero Trust Architecture, starting with pre-requisites then protect surfaces. This results in expertise within your organization using an iterative, outcome-based approach with increasing coverage across protect surfaces.

Other Zero Trust Services

Our services are customized to your unique business model and needs. These work packages are examples of outcomes we can help produce, but are in no way exhaustive. Our cybersecurity experts will work across your security, risk, technology, and executive teams to achieve desired outcomes your business needs.

Transform your enterprise security with modern architecture.

Zero Trust isn't a product you buy—it's a journey that begins with what you have now. Don't buy into vendor hype. The key is expert guidance to reshape your security approach.

At Massive Scale Consulting, we champion an iterative approach that delivers quick wins while building toward comprehensive security transformation.
