Full disclosure: I'm on the Zero Trust team at Microsoft that BUILT this! πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ

We poured years of experience helping our biggest customers into one simple, actionable roadmap. We wanted to take the guesswork out of it for you

Ready to see how it works?

Let's dive into the first pillar: Identity πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»

We run half-day workshops with large companies just on this topic. It's the absolute foundation of Zero Trust.

Here’s the complete roadmap we use in those sessions. It's dense, but this is the real, actionable plan.

We give you guidance on who should attend.

Did you know: Often, internal teams are meeting for the first time to discuss shared goals in these sessions.

Just these conversations have been incredibly insightful & productive!

Drawing from over 200+ workshops, we've fine-tuned the timing.

Here's our recommended time commitment for each pillar.

Every pillar comes with a video walkthrough of the pillar, what to look out for, how to guide customers through each swim lane and tips on how to get the best out of running the workshop.

PS: The latest set of videos will be published in a few days.
