Zero Trust IT ServicesImplemented, Managed & Maintained.
Zero Trust as a Service — Not a One-Time Project.

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.
