Zero Trust Blueprint For The Regulated Enterprise
A reference architecture for Zero Trust adoption — identity, segmentation, telemetry — mapped to RBI, NIST and ISO frameworks.
→INSIDE THE REPORT
Five chapters. One operating reality.
01 · The Zero Trust thesis
Trust is verified, never assumed. Every access decision is a fresh evaluation of identity, device posture, application sensitivity and session context. The architecture is identity-anchored and continuously verified.
02 · Reference architecture
Five planes: identity, device, network, application, data. Each plane has explicit controls; the orchestration plane evaluates policy in real time and binds the controls together.
03 · Migration pattern
Crawl-walk-run over 18–24 months. Identity first, then device, then segmentation, then continuous verification. Quick wins early, deep wins later.
04 · Mapping to regulatory frameworks
RBI Cyber Framework, NIST 800-207, ISO/IEC 27001 — each framework's expectations mapped to the controls in the reference architecture.
05 · Operational model
Zero Trust is not a project. It is an operating model. The blueprint includes the RACI, the steady-state cadence, and the metric set we use to manage it as an outcome rather than a deliverable.
