Description

Zero Trust is a security strategy built on three principles — verify explicitly, use least privilege access, and assume breach. This engagement applies those principles across your Microsoft 365 environment in five swim lanes defined by Microsoft, delivering working security controls from week one and reaching a verified Zero Trust posture by week sixteen.
