Zero Trust as a Service — Not a One-Time Project.

Zero trust is not a product you buy and install — it's a security architecture that requires ongoing management. New employees are hired and need to be provisioned with the right access. Employees leave and need to be deprovisioned immediately. New devices are enrolled and must meet compliance baselines. Access policies need to be updated as roles change. Behavioral baselines evolve as work patterns shift. And the threat landscape that zero trust is designed to address changes constantly — new attack techniques, new credential theft campaigns, new compliance requirements. A zero trust architecture that was configured once and left alone drifts: policies become outdated, devices fall out of compliance undetected, and access creep accumulates until least-privilege is no longer least. Gradius delivers zero trust IT services for NJ, NY & CT businesses — not as a one-time implementation project, but as a continuously managed service that keeps the zero trust architecture effective as the organization and the threat landscape evolve.

The Zero Trust Services Portfolio

Six Zero Trust IT Services — Delivered as a
Continuously Managed Program, Not a Project

Zero trust as a managed service means every component is actively maintained — identities reviewed, devices monitored, access policies updated, remote access enforced, behavioral anomalies investigated, and compliance evidence current. Here's each service and what continuous management delivers.

🔍
Zero Trust Assessment & Gap Analysis — Start with the Truth
Before implementing zero trust, the organization needs an honest picture of where it stands against the zero trust framework — which controls are in place, which are partially configured, and which are missing entirely. A zero trust assessment evaluates the six pillars: identity (MFA coverage, legacy auth status, Conditional Access policy), device (Intune enrollment rate, compliance policy, device health visibility), access (RBAC accuracy, over-permissioned accounts, admin privilege management), network (segmentation, remote access method, ZTNA vs. VPN), monitoring (behavioral analytics coverage, SOC visibility), and compliance alignment (applicable framework requirements and current gap). Gradius delivers zero trust gap assessments that produce a prioritized implementation roadmap — addressing the highest-risk gaps first and sequencing the remaining work in phases that minimize operational disruption.
🪪
Identity & Access Management as a Service — Continuously Governed
Identity is the control plane of zero trust — and it requires continuous management to remain effective. New employees must be provisioned correctly with role-appropriate access from day one. Departed employees must be deprovisioned immediately so their credentials don't remain active. Access reviews must be conducted periodically to identify accounts whose permissions no longer match their current role. Conditional Access policies must be updated as the organization's access patterns and risk requirements evolve. Privileged accounts must be monitored for anomalous use. Gradius delivers identity and access management as an ongoing service — managing the full lifecycle of every identity in the tenant, maintaining Conditional Access policy effectiveness, and conducting periodic access reviews that identify and remediate access creep before it creates exploitable exposure.
💻
Device Management as a Service — Intune Compliance, Always Current
Device compliance in zero trust requires continuous management — not just deploying Intune and enrolling devices once. New devices must be enrolled as they're added to the organization. Compliance baselines must be updated as OS versions and security requirements evolve. Non-compliant devices must be identified and remediated before they create access policy exceptions. Devices that are lost, stolen, or decommissioned must be wiped and unenrolled. Configuration profiles must be maintained to enforce the security settings that Conditional Access relies on for compliance decisions. Gradius manages Intune as an ongoing service — maintaining enrollment, updating compliance baselines as requirements evolve, resolving compliance failures before they affect employee access, and ensuring the device estate reflects the compliance posture that zero trust access decisions depend on.
🌐
Zero Trust Remote Access — ZTNA Deployed & Managed
Replacing traditional VPN with Zero Trust Network Access is one of the highest-impact zero trust improvements for organizations with remote or hybrid workforces — but it requires both the initial deployment and ongoing management. ZTNA policies must be maintained as applications and access requirements change. New on-premises applications must be onboarded to the ZTNA platform as they're added. User access policies must be updated when roles change. The intersection of ZTNA with Conditional Access and Intune compliance must be maintained so that the device compliance requirement for ZTNA access remains enforced. Gradius deploys ZTNA through Microsoft Entra Private Access for on-premises applications and manages the ongoing access policy maintenance — ensuring remote access remains zero-trust-enforced as the organization and its application landscape evolve.
🔭
Zero Trust Monitoring & SOC Coverage — Assume Breach, Act Fast
Zero trust assumes breach — controls reduce the attack surface and limit lateral movement, but breaches still occur and must be detected quickly. Zero trust monitoring generates behavioral analytics from every identity, device, and access event — and these alerts require human analysis to separate genuine threats from false positives and to initiate appropriate response. Gradius operates the U.S.-based SOC that monitors Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, and Microsoft Sentinel alerts generated by the zero trust architecture. When an identity behaves anomalously after authenticating correctly, when a device that passed compliance begins exhibiting suspicious behavior, or when access patterns indicate potential lateral movement, the SOC investigates and responds — converting the detection capability of the zero trust architecture into actual containment.
📋
Zero Trust Compliance Alignment — NIST, HIPAA, PCI & NY DFS
Zero trust controls satisfy requirements across multiple compliance frameworks — and Gradius maps the implemented zero trust controls to each applicable framework. NIST Zero Trust Architecture (SP 800-207) provides the authoritative framework that government contractors and NIST-aligned organizations reference; the six pillars Gradius implements map directly to NIST ZTA principles. HIPAA's Security Rule technical safeguard requirements — access controls, audit logging, automatic logoff, encryption — are addressed by Entra ID, Conditional Access, and Intune controls. PCI DSS access control requirements and network segmentation requirements are satisfied by zero trust identity and network controls. NY DFS Part 500 MFA, encryption, and access privilege management requirements are addressed by the identity and device management components. Gradius maintains compliance documentation that maps zero trust controls to each applicable framework — so compliance evidence is current when it's needed.

Is Your Zero Trust Architecture Being Maintained —
or Has It Already Started to Drift?

A zero trust implementation that was configured six months ago and hasn't been reviewed since has probably drifted: access creep has accumulated, device compliance baselines haven't been updated, and Conditional Access policies haven't been adjusted for changed access patterns. Book a free zero trust assessment and find out whether your zero trust controls are current and effective.

Why NJ, NY & CT Businesses Choose Gradius for Zero Trust Services

Zero Trust That's Managed, Not Deployed —
Effective Today and Six Months from Now

The difference between a zero trust implementation and a zero trust managed service is what happens after the initial deployment. A one-time implementation leaves the organization responsible for maintaining access reviews, updating compliance baselines, managing ZTNA policies, and responding to the behavioral alerts the architecture generates. A managed service means Gradius does all of that — continuously, so zero trust remains effective as the organization changes.

🔒
Zero Trust Expertise — Assessment Through Ongoing Management
Gradius brings zero trust expertise across the full lifecycle — from the initial gap assessment that identifies where the organization stands against the framework, through the phased implementation that deploys controls without disrupting operations, through the ongoing management that keeps the zero trust architecture effective as the organization changes. The Microsoft zero trust platform — Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Sentinel — is the technology layer; the expertise to configure, operate, and continuously improve it is what Gradius delivers.
🔄
Continuous Access Reviews — Access Creep Caught Before It Accumulates
Access creep is the slow accumulation of permissions over time as roles change, projects end, and organizational structures shift — users who were granted temporary elevated access that was never revoked, accounts that inherited permissions from group memberships that no longer reflect their role, and service accounts with standing privileged access that should be time-limited. Periodic access reviews identify and remediate access creep before it creates the over-permissioned accounts that attackers target. Gradius conducts access reviews on a defined schedule — quarterly for privileged accounts, semi-annually for general access — and remediates findings before the next review cycle.
📊
Zero Trust Posture Tracking — Secure Score as a Managed Metric
Microsoft Secure Score measures the security configuration of the Microsoft 365 tenant against zero trust best practices — and it tracks over time, showing whether the security posture is improving, stable, or degrading. Gradius manages Secure Score improvement as a tracked metric of zero trust service effectiveness: quarterly reviews that identify high-impact improvements, implementation of recommended configurations, and reporting that shows management a concrete measure of zero trust posture progress. A Secure Score that improves over time is evidence that the zero trust managed service is delivering measurable security improvement.
📍
NJ, NY & CT — Zero Trust for Distributed Organizations
NJ, NY & CT businesses often have employees distributed across multiple locations — offices in different counties, remote employees throughout the region, and client-facing staff who work from wherever clients are. Zero trust is designed for this reality: it doesn't require network perimeter presence to enforce security, but it does require continuous management to remain effective across a distributed workforce. Gradius manages zero trust for NJ, NY & CT organizations across all their workforce distribution patterns — ensuring that security policies are consistent and enforced regardless of where employees work or what devices they use.

FAQ

Common Questions About
Zero Trust IT Services

Gradius zero trust IT services include: zero trust gap assessment — evaluation against the six zero trust pillars (identity, device, access, network, monitoring, compliance) with a prioritized implementation roadmap; identity and access management — Entra ID governance, Conditional Access policy management, user lifecycle (provisioning and deprovisioning), periodic access reviews, Privileged Identity Management; device management — Intune enrollment management, compliance baseline maintenance, compliance failure remediation, configuration profile management; ZTNA remote access — Microsoft Entra Private Access deployment and policy management, replacing VPN with zero-trust-enforced remote access; zero trust monitoring and SOC — Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, and Microsoft Sentinel monitoring with U.S.-based SOC response; and zero trust compliance alignment — NIST ZTA, HIPAA, PCI, NY DFS mapping and compliance documentation. Flat-rate, continuously managed.
Zero trust controls are only as current as the state of the environment they govern — and organizations change constantly. When an employee changes roles, their access should be updated to match the new role's requirements; if it isn't, they retain access to resources they no longer need (access creep). When a new device is added to the fleet without being enrolled in Intune, it can't be evaluated for compliance, and Conditional Access may block the employee's access — or grant it on a non-compliant device if the policy isn't correctly scoped. When a new application is deployed on-premises and not added to the ZTNA configuration, employees connecting remotely either can't access it or connect through the old VPN that bypasses zero trust controls. When Conditional Access policies aren't reviewed as work patterns change, they may block legitimate access that should be allowed or allow access that should be blocked. Zero trust is a continuously maintained security architecture, not a product you install and leave running. Gradius provides the ongoing management that keeps zero trust effective.
Zero trust implementation is typically phased over 60–90 days, with the highest-risk gaps addressed first. Identity controls — MFA enforcement, legacy authentication blocking, initial Conditional Access policies — are typically in place within the first two weeks. Intune device enrollment and basic compliance policies follow in weeks two through four. Access reviews and Privileged Identity Management configuration typically complete in weeks four through eight. ZTNA deployment replacing VPN for on-premises applications is typically completed in weeks six through twelve depending on the number and complexity of applications. Full SOC integration and Sentinel configuration completes the implementation in months two through three. After implementation, the ongoing managed service maintains every component continuously. The Secure Score improvement is measurable within 30 days of implementation start, and typically reaches the 70–85% range within the first 90 days of the managed program.
A zero trust project has a defined start date, a set of deliverables, and an end date — after which the organization is responsible for maintaining what was implemented. A zero trust managed service is ongoing: the implementation is the beginning of a continuous management relationship, not the end of an engagement. The distinction matters because zero trust requires continuous management to remain effective. An organization that completes a zero trust implementation project and then manages the architecture internally needs the internal expertise to conduct access reviews, update compliance baselines, maintain Conditional Access policies, respond to SOC alerts, and track Secure Score — work that requires sustained Microsoft zero trust platform expertise. Most NJ, NY & CT businesses find that the managed service model is more effective and more economical than doing the implementation as a project and then maintaining it internally without dedicated expertise.
No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements. Organizations stay with Gradius zero trust services because the Secure Score improves and stays high, access reviews happen on schedule, device compliance is maintained, ZTNA access works reliably for remote employees, and the SOC is watching for the behavioral anomalies that zero trust surfaces. The security posture improves measurably and stays improved. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
We serve 12+ industries in NJ, NY & CT including healthcare, legal, financial services, construction, manufacturing, real estate, insurance, architecture, professional services, restaurants, nonprofits, and general business — each with specialized compliance and operational expertise built in.
