In one case, an organization was looking for an assessment of their secret and top-secret environments (on-premises and cloud). The organization wanted to know what capabilities were needed to close existing gaps in the architecture and what timelines were associated with implementation. They also wanted to know which products/solutions needed to be tuned, modified, or removed. In addition, they needed trustworthy advice on which new products they should consider and why.
We applied our comprehensive assessment tool and approach. Our ZT maturity assessments—tailored for CISA, DOD, and intelligence community (IC) models—gauge readiness for enterprise IT, operational technology (OT), and weapon systems. We use automation for assessment and reporting. We develop baselines, roadmaps, and blueprints for implementation. By mapping an organization’s capabilities to the maturity models, we provide a repeatable way to track maturity and change over time as the organization grows.
We provided a clear, executable plan with a three-to-five-year time horizon accurately predicting zero trust capability implementation to meet expected DOD and CISA timelines. In alignment with maturity model pillars, we provided per-pillar roadmaps depicting dependencies, sequencing, and analysis on barriers to entry. In addition, we provided a maturity dashboard with scoring heat maps and activity tracking per pillar. We also provided a repeatable questionnaire with automated dashboard integration to track change over time.
Booz Allen is the top provider of zero trust solutions to the U.S. government with unprecedented experience driving ZTA implementation at scale. Defense and intelligence organizations, federal agencies, and critical infrastructure businesses can implement zero trust cybersecurity with greater confidence and speed using our proven approach.
