01 · Strategize and roadmap
A Zero Trust strategy and phased roadmap is built around your applications, users, and existing network architecture requirements.
Identity & Access
Zero Trust Access Enablement
Staged Zero Trust program replacing legacy VPN with conditional access, ZTNA, microsegmentation, and MDM/UEM verification
- 12 to 32 weeks Staged program, scoped, and priced upfront
- Risk-scored Conditional access decisions informed by continuous, AI-assisted risk signals
- Crown-jewel first Micro segmentation prioritized around your most critical applications
The challenge
Legacy VPN grants broad network access the moment a user authenticates, which means one compromised credential can reach far more than it should, enabling rapid lateral movement for ransomware and catastrophic data breaches. Zero Trust replaces that all-or-nothing model, but only if it is rolled out in stages that do not break how people already work.
Approach
How the engagement works
02 · Deploy and verify
Zero Trust network access is deployed alongside conditional access policies, replacing standing VPN access with continuous verification across users, devices, and sessions
03 · Segment and hand over
Microsegmentation is applied around crown-jewel applications first, with knowledge transfer and runbooks handed over at the end to support secure operations and long-term administration.
How it works
From scattered privileged accounts to one governed vault
What’s included
- Zero Trust strategy and phased roadmap
- Zero Trust network access and secure access service edge deployment
- Conditional access policy design
- Micro segmentation around crown-jewel applications
- Knowledge transfer and runbook handover
Outcomes
- Broad standing network access replaced with continuous, conditional verification
- Your most critical applications segmented first, not treated the same as everything else
- A staged rollout that does not break existing workflows along the way
Why Gruve
Most Zero Trust projects try to change everything at once
Gruve stages it around what matters most first
A Zero Trust rollout that tries to convert the entire network in one pass either stalls or breaks legitimate access. This programme builds a phased roadmap, deploys conditional access and continuous verification first, and segments crown-jewel applications before extending to the rest of the estate.
