Assurance · Zero Trust Foundation
Zero Trust architecture assessment and implementation roadmap for organisations with distributed workforces, hybrid cloud, and regulated data. Convergent evaluates your current posture against the NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust maturity model and builds a practical path to least-privilege access across your environment.

Implementation roadmap
Five pillars of Zero Trust
Zero Trust is not a product — it’s an architecture. Convergent assesses your environment against the five pillars of the NIST Zero Trust model, identifying where implicit trust exists today and building a prioritised roadmap to eliminate it.
Pillar 01
Assessing identity governance, MFA coverage, privileged access management, and service account hygiene. Identity is the new perimeter — weak identity controls are the most common Zero Trust failure point.
Pillar 02
Device trust posture, MDM coverage, endpoint health checks, and BYOD policy. Assessing whether access decisions consider device compliance state alongside user identity.
Pillar 03
Microsegmentation, lateral movement controls, east-west traffic inspection, and software-defined perimeter. Identifying where flat network architecture enables unrestricted internal access.
Pillar 04
Application access controls, service-to-service authentication, workload identity, and cloud-native security posture. Assessing whether applications enforce least-privilege access independently of network location.
Pillar 05
Data classification, access governance, DLP controls, and encryption at rest and in transit. Ensuring data access is granted based on verified need, not network location or broad role assignment.
By industry
The architecture principles are universal. The implementation priorities vary significantly by sector, regulatory requirement, and the types of data and access patterns Convergent sees in each vertical.

Get started
Zero Trust assessments begin with a scoping conversation to understand your current architecture, your regulatory environment, and where implicit trust is creating the most risk. The roadmap that follows is phased to fit your budget and timeline.
