⏚ Summary
What this engagement is, plainly.
Zero-trust is operational, not a project. We implement postures where every access decision is identity-based, policy-driven, and provable in retrospect — without breaking how your teams work.
Problems we solve
Your VPN is still the security boundary and you know that's not enough.
Workload-to-workload calls are still on network trust, not identity.
Auditors keep asking for evidence of access decisions you can't easily produce.
⏚ Approach
How we run this engagement.
- 01Phase
Identity inventory
Every human, workload, and service account mapped to a single source of truth. We collapse identity providers before we tighten policy.
- 02Phase
Policy as code
Authorization rules expressed in OPA / Cedar, versioned in the same repo as the workloads they govern. No more wikis-of-truth.
- 03Phase
Continuous verification
Every access decision is logged, every policy change is reviewable, every drift is detected. The posture is operational, not aspirational.
⏚ Deliverables
What you get, signed off.
Identity rationalization (SSO + workload identity)
Authorization policies per service (OPA / Cedar)
Device posture + conditional access
Access review automation
Auditor-ready evidence pipelines
⏚ Stack we typically use
Tools, not religion.
We pick on workload and team shape, not on fashion. Anything below is a default — swappable when your context demands.
- Okta
- OIDC
- SPIFFE
- OPA
- Cedar
- Teleport
- Pomerium
Outcome
Every access decision is identity-based and provable; VPNs become optional, audits become queries, and your team works at the same pace with less risk.
