Zero Trust Consulting & Implementation Services
Design and implement a zero trust architecture with identity as the control plane — continuous verification, least-privilege access, microsegmentation, and adaptive risk-based policies across your enterprise.
Why Zero Trust Is No Longer Optional
Traditional perimeter security assumed everything inside the network was trusted. That model is broken — with cloud adoption, remote work, BYOD, and sophisticated threats, identity is the new perimeter. Zero Trust mandates that every user, device, and workload is verified continuously before granting access. AskMeIdentity helps you design, architect, and operationalize zero trust with identity at the center.
Identity-Centric
Every access decision starts with identity — user, device, workload, and context verified before granting access.
Least Privilege
Grant the minimum access needed for the task at hand, with just-in-time and just-enough-access models.
Microsegmentation
Segment your network, applications, and data — contain lateral movement even if an attacker gets past initial defenses.
Continuous Monitoring
Real-time risk scoring, adaptive authentication, and anomaly detection at every access point.
Our Zero Trust Framework
AskMeIdentity follows the NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture model as the foundation, tailored to your organization's specific pillars.
Zero Trust Maturity Assessment
Evaluate your current state across identity, device, network, application, and data pillars. Map gaps against NIST 800-207, CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, and your compliance requirements.
Identity Architecture Design
Design the identity fabric — SSO, MFA, conditional access policies, device trust, PAM, and identity governance. Select and integrate the right platforms (Okta, Azure AD, Ping, CyberArk).
Network & Application Microsegmentation
Implement software-defined perimeters, application-level policies, and API security gateways. Integrate with ZTNA solutions for remote and hybrid access.
Continuous Verification & Risk Engine
Deploy adaptive authentication, risk-based access policies, session monitoring, and ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response). Build the feedback loop between security telemetry and access decisions.
Operationalize & Measure
Train teams, establish zero trust KPIs, and implement dashboards. Move from project to operating model with continuous improvement and maturity tracking.
Zero Trust Pillars We Address
Identity & Access
SSO, MFA, passwordless authentication, conditional access, identity lifecycle management, and privileged access management (PAM) — all integrated into a unified identity fabric.
Device Trust
Device health checks, MDM/UEM integration, certificate-based authentication, and endpoint posture assessment before granting access to corporate resources.
Network Security
ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), microsegmentation, encrypted tunnels, and software-defined perimeters replacing legacy VPN architectures.
Application Security
Application-level access policies, API gateways, service mesh authentication (mTLS), and RBAC/ABAC enforcement at the application layer.
Data Protection
Data classification, encryption at rest and in transit, DLP integration, and context-aware data access policies tied to identity and device trust.
Identity Threat Detection (ITDR)
Real-time identity threat detection, behavioral analytics, compromised credential detection, and automated response to identity-based attacks.
Expected Outcomes
Least-privilege access and microsegmentation drastically limit lateral movement and blast radius.
Achieve near-universal MFA and adaptive authentication across all user populations and access points.
Real-time identity monitoring and automated response reduce mean time to detect and contain identity threats.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a zero trust implementation take?
Zero trust is a journey, not a one-time project. A maturity assessment takes 2–4 weeks. Initial identity pillar implementation takes 3–6 months. Full zero trust maturity across all pillars typically takes 12–18 months.
Do we need to rip and replace our existing security tools?
No. Zero trust builds on your existing investments. We integrate with your current identity providers, MDM solutions, firewalls, and SIEM. We fill gaps rather than replace what works.
Is zero trust required for compliance?
Increasingly, yes. Executive Order 14028 mandates zero trust for US federal agencies. NIST, CIS, and industry frameworks (PCI DSS 4.0, HIPAA) strongly recommend zero trust principles. Many cyber insurance providers now require it.
What role does identity play in zero trust?
Identity is the foundation — the first and most critical pillar. Every access decision starts with verifying who or what is requesting access. Without strong identity, zero trust cannot function.
Do you support hybrid environments (on-prem + cloud)?
Absolutely. Most enterprises have hybrid environments. Our zero trust architectures bridge on-premises Active Directory/LDAP with cloud identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, and Ping Identity.
