// CYBERSECURITY / IDENTITY & ZERO TRUST

Stolen credentials open most front doors. We change the lock.

Legacy VPNs hand implicit trust to anyone with a valid password, and the average breach goes unnoticed for 207 days. We design and deploy identity-first zero trust across Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet, Google and AWS, and the work ships under your brand.

// THE IDENTITY PROBLEM

Most client identity estates were built for a network that no longer exists.

Almost two thirds of intrusions now start with a stolen or phished credential, and once it is in hand the attacker walks straight in. Standing admin accounts go unwatched, service accounts hoard privileges they stopped needing years ago, and legacy VPNs grant whole-network reach to anyone who authenticates. Access management is one of the hardest security gaps to staff, so the work rarely gets done in-house. With NIS2 making MFA and privileged access management non-negotiable for essential entities, this stopped being discretionary.

// CAPABILITIES

What we build.

01

Zero Trust Architecture

Identity-first design from the ground up: Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access, PIM and Identity Protection, mapped to how each client estate actually runs rather than a reference diagram.

02

Phishing-Resistant MFA

Cisco Duo with FIDO2 and Entra ID passkeys, configured for step-up authentication on elevated risk signals. Strong by default, quiet for the user who is doing nothing unusual.

03

Network Access Control

Cisco ISE for 802.1X and dynamic VLAN assignment, so a device proves identity and health before it reaches the network, not after. NAC stitched into the same identity policy as everything else.

04

VPN to ZTNA Migration

FortiClient ZTNA replacing legacy VPN with per-application, per-session access. A structured cutover, not advice on a slide: the user reaches only what they are entitled to, verified every time.

05

Privileged Access Governance

FortiPAM and Entra PIM remove standing privileges in favour of just-in-time access. Service accounts get pruned, admin paths get logged, and the audit trail writes itself.

06

Cloud Identity Coverage

AWS IAM Identity Center for multi-account governance and Google BeyondCorp Enterprise for Workspace. Identity policy that reaches across directories instead of stopping at the first one.

// FAQ

Identity and zero trust, answered straight.

01 Will zero trust break our clients workflows?

Done correctly, a compliant user barely notices it. Conditional Access evaluates risk on every login and only challenges when the signals are elevated, so routine access proceeds without friction. We configure step-up authentication, not constant re-authentication.

02 Our clients already have Microsoft 365 E3. Do they not have Entra ID already?

Holding the licence is not the same as running an identity programme. Most E3 estates have Entra ID in its default state: no Conditional Access policies, no PIM, no access reviews, no Identity Protection. We operationalise what those licences already permit.

03 What about clients who are not Microsoft-first?

The stack is multi-vendor by design. Cisco ISE and Duo deliver network access control and MFA independent of the directory, FortiClient ZTNA works with any identity provider, and BeyondCorp Enterprise serves Google Workspace. We match the tooling to the estate in front of us.

04 What is the real difference between ZTNA and VPN?

A VPN grants broad network reach once connected: any valid credential can touch any resource. ZTNA grants per-application, per-session access keyed to user identity and device health, so the user only reaches what they are authorised for, checked on every session.

05 What does NIS2 require for identity and access?

Article 21 explicitly calls for multi-factor authentication, access control policies and privileged access management for essential entities, with enforcement tightening from October 2026. Our deployments produce the MFA coverage reports, policy documentation and privileged access audit trails an assessor expects to see.

06 Whose name is on the deliverables?

Yours. Architecture documents, runbooks and access review reports all carry your branding. We operate as your delivery team: accountable to you, and out of sight of the end client by design.
