Remote SupportZero trust security
One stolen login should not open your whole business.
Most networks trust anyone who gets past the front door. So when an attacker gets one password, they can often reach everything.
We change that. Every sign-in is checked, every person reaches only what their job needs, and unknown devices stay out.
What changes
What is different once it is in place.
Every sign-in is checked, every time
Being in the office or on the VPN no longer counts as proof. Each login is checked for who it is, what device it is on and whether anything looks off.
People only reach what their job needs
The receptionist cannot open the finance share. A stolen account can only reach a small part of the business.
Unknown devices are kept out
Company data opens only on laptops and phones we manage that are encrypted and up to date.
Remote access without the old VPN
Staff reach the apps they need from home or on the road, and nothing else on your network is exposed to the internet.
Odd behaviour gets noticed
A login from overseas at 3am or a sudden mass download raises an alert, and we look at it.
What happens
Done in stages, without stopping work.
The sign-in part of this is covered in more detail on our sign-in and access security page.
- 01
Map it
We list who uses what, from which devices, and where your important data sits.
- 02
Lock the front door
Strong sign-in checks and device rules first, because that is where most attacks start.
- 03
Shrink the blast radius
We cut back access so each person and each account reaches only what it needs.
- 04
Keep watching
We review sign-ins and access regularly and adjust as people and systems change.
The questions we get asked the most.
- What is zero trust?
- A way of setting up security where nothing is trusted just because it is inside your network. Every sign-in and every request is checked for who it is, what device it comes from and whether it makes sense, before access is given.
- Is this a product we buy?
- No. It is a set of rules built mostly from tools you already have in Microsoft 365, like Microsoft Entra ID and Intune. We set them up in stages so work is not disrupted.
- Is it only for big companies?
- No. Smaller businesses often find it easier, because they have fewer systems. Most of our clients have between 5 and 150 staff.
- How does it relate to the Essential Eight?
- Several Essential Eight strategies, such as multi-factor authentication and restricting admin rights, are zero trust controls. Doing this work moves you up the Essential Eight maturity levels.
- How long does it take?
- It is done in stages. Sign-in and device checks usually come first, then access clean-up. We agree the order and timing with you after mapping your setup.
- Do you work outside Brisbane?
- Yes. This is set up and run remotely, so a business anywhere in Australia gets the same engineers and the same controls.
