CYB-03 // ZERO-TRUST ARCHITECTURE

Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Micro-Segmentation & Identity Governance

Replace vulnerable legacy VPNs and flat internal networks with NIST SP 800-207 Zero-Trust architecture—enforcing continuous identity verification, hardware MFA, least-privilege micro-segmentation, and Privileged Access Management (PAM).

Why Flat Internal Networks Are an Attacker's Playground—And How Zero-Trust Stops Them

In a traditional castle-and-moat network, once an attacker compromises a single receptionist laptop or steals a VPN password, they have flat, unrestricted network access to scan and encrypt every server in the building.

Dulo Tech engineers true NIST SP 800-207 Zero-Trust architectures. Every user, device, and API call is authenticated, posture-checked, and granted encrypted access only to the specific single application requested—never the underlying network.

SIX PILLARS OF ZERO-TRUST

End-to-End Zero-Trust Implementation Across Identity, Device, Network & Data

We implement Zero-Trust systematically across CISA's and NIST's six foundational pillars.

ZERO-TRUST MATURITY ROADMAP

Six Phased Steps to Zero-Trust Without User Disruption

We roll out Zero-Trust in transparent, non-disruptive phases so employee productivity increases rather than suffers.

ZTR-01

Step 1: Protect-Surface & Asset Mapping

Identifying your 'crown jewel' databases, ERPs, and payment switches and mapping all legitimate traffic flows.

FLOW MAPPING
ZTR-02

Step 2: Strong Identity & MFA Rollout

Consolidating directories and enforcing conditional MFA and Single Sign-On across all user accounts.

SSO UNIFIED
ZTR-03

Step 3: Privileged Admin Lockdown

Eliminating standing domain-admin rights and routing all vendor and sysadmin access through a recorded PAM jump-host.

ADMIN LOCKDOWN
ZTR-04

Step 4: Monitor-Mode Segmentation

Deploying NAC and micro-segmentation policies in 'audit/log-only' mode first to verify zero legitimate business traffic is blocked.

ZERO DISRUPTION
ZTR-05

Step 5: ZTNA Cutover & VPN Retirement

Migrating remote staff and branch offices to ZTNA application connectors and shutting down public VPN ports.

VPN RETIRED
ZTR-06

Step 6: Continuous Adaptive Policy Tuning

Feeding live CSOC risk scores into the identity broker to automatically step-up authentication when anomalous behavior occurs.

TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE BASE

Frequently Asked Engineering & Procurement Questions

Direct answers from Dulo Tech Limited's Principal Systems Architects, CSOC Directors, and Institutional Procurement Officers at Mirage Towers, Nairobi.

Traditional VPNs expose a public listening port to the internet (frequently targeted by zero-day exploits) and, once connected, place the remote user's laptop directly onto the internal corporate network. ZTNA makes your network invisible to the internet and grants access only to specific apps.
No. During our Monitor-Mode discovery phase, we profile all non-interactive IoT devices, printers, and IP phones and assign them to dedicated, tightly ACL-restricted voice/print VLANs.
Instead of giving an external ERP or database vendor a permanent VPN and admin password, PAM grants them a time-bound, browser-based session to that single server while recording every command and keystroke for audit compliance.
In many cases, yes! Organizations often already own Entra ID, FortiGate/FortiClient, or Cisco capabilities that can be architected into a Zero-Trust fabric without buying overlapping tools.
Our phased roadmap delivers quick wins (MFA and PAM) in the first 3 to 4 weeks, followed by full ZTNA and micro-segmentation over 8 to 12 weeks.
Yes. PCI-DSS v4.0 and CBK guidelines explicitly mandate strict network segmentation of cardholder/core banking zones, multi-factor authentication, and privileged access logging.
