Case Study

Public-sector zero trust validation and control assurance.

A government program strengthened privileged access pathways and accelerated audit-readiness evidence cycles.

01

Challenge

Inherited access models allowed excessive standing privilege across critical administrative systems.

02

Exploit Path

Identity trust transitivity enabled privilege escalation between contractor and internal management zones.

03

Fix Program

JIT privilege controls, policy-based segmentation, and red-team verification loops tied to governance evidence.

04

Outcome

Critical path exposure reduced 57%, privileged access review cadence reduced from quarterly to monthly, and regulator briefing confidence increased.

Need zero-trust validation across complex environments?

We can map identity and privilege paths, then validate closure with executive-ready assurance outputs.
