Zero Trust & Secure Architecture
Security architecture designed around access, evidence, and control.
Performance Data guides organizations toward stronger zero-trust operating models without disrupting the systems that keep the business running.
Capabilities
What it covers.
Identity and access architecture
Identity and access architecture designs how people, devices and services prove who they are and what they are allowed to do, across directories, cloud identity providers, applications and the privileged paths between them.

MFA and phishing-resistant authentication planning determines which populations, applications and administrative paths need multi-factor authentication, which need phishing-resistant methods such as hardware keys or platform passkeys, and how to get there without locking out the people who keep the business running.
Learn more →03 / CapabilityPrivileged access management
Privileged access management brings administrative accounts, service accounts and other high-privilege credentials under control: who has them, why, how they are used, how use is recorded and how privilege is removed when it is no longer needed.
Learn more →04 / CapabilityNetwork segmentation
Network segmentation divides the environment into zones so that a compromise in one cannot spread freely to the others: user devices from servers, production from development, operational technology from corporate IT, guest from staff, and sensitive workloads from everything else.
Learn more →05 / CapabilitySecure remote access
Secure remote access designs and verifies how staff, administrators, partners and vendors reach the environment from outside it: VPN, zero-trust network access, remote desktop gateways, cloud application access and the third-party connections that support often leave open.
Learn more →06 / CapabilityCloud access controls
Cloud access controls govern who and what can reach cloud consoles, resources, storage and services, and under what conditions: identity federation, role design, service principals, network restrictions, key handling and the guardrails that prevent accidental exposure.
Learn more →07 / CapabilityDevice posture and endpoint controls
Device posture and endpoint controls ensure that only known, healthy, managed devices reach sensitive systems, and that each device enforces the baseline it should: disk encryption, screen lock, patch state, endpoint protection and configuration standards.
Learn more →08 / CapabilityData classification and access governance
Data classification and access governance establishes what data the organization holds, how sensitive each class is, where it lives, who may access it and how that access is granted, reviewed and removed.
Learn more →09 / CapabilitySecure enclave design for sensitive workloads
Secure enclave design creates a bounded, hardened environment for the organization’s most sensitive workloads and data: a defined set of systems, identities, networks and controls that can be assured, audited and defended as a unit.
