• Discovery & Analysis
  • Analyze existing network security rules, firewall policies, address groups, and user/group-based access controls to determine Zero Trust applicability and reuse.
  • Review current identity sources (AD, Entra ID, IGA, RBAC structures) to identify reusable groupings or role models for Zero Trust enforcement.
  • Assess application access patterns (web, console, database, API, internal services) to understand required network paths and trust boundaries.
  • Identify gaps, overlaps, and overly permissive rules that must be remediated to align with Zero Trust principles.
• Zero Trust Readiness Assessment
  
  • Determine whether existing firewall rules, user groups, and address objects can be leveraged or must be redesigned for Zero Trust enforcement.
  • Document required net new security objects, including user groups, address groups, application definitions, and metadata dependencies.
  • Support application onboarding by validating that proposed Zero Trust rules meet least privilege access requirements.
• Documentation & Handoff
  
  • Produce clear analysis artifacts that define:
    
    • What exists today
    • What can be reused
