Independent Microsoft GSA security architects.
Plan, review and deploy Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access with senior architects — clear findings, remediation priorities and handover documentation. Senior-led, delivered in weeks, not quarters.
Your VPN is a liability, not a strategy.
A traditional VPN often grants broader access than each user actually needs — one tunnel, many reachable resources. Microsoft's answer — Global Secure Access — replaces that with per-app, identity-based Zero Trust: users authenticate to each app, and access follows identity, device posture and risk — not the network they're on. Not every app forces a fresh interactive login; single sign-on and conditional access carry the user through.
But buying the license is only step one. Where GSA projects stall is deployment: app discovery, connector rollout, Conditional Access migration, and change management. That's the part we do every day.
Advisory and delivery across the Microsoft Entra SSE stack.
Independent architecture reviews, gap analysis and target-state design — plus hands-on delivery of Private Access and Internet Access. Senior-led, tailored to your apps, users and identity estate.
Review an existing deployment
Independent architecture review, gap analysis and a prioritised remediation roadmap for your live GSA estate — benchmarked against Microsoft best practice and Zero Trust.
- Scope: Internet Access, Private Access, the Microsoft traffic profile, Conditional Access and connectors
- Deliverable: findings report + board-ready remediation roadmap
- Typical: ~2 weeks
Plan and pilot an adoption
Target-state architecture and design, then hands-on delivery of Private Access and Internet Access — Quick Access first, then per-app segmentation.
- Scope: VPN replacement or clean-slate rollout, with coexistence alongside your incumbent vendor
- Deliverable: design documentation + a phased pilot to production
- Typical: design ~1–2 weeks, delivery in sprints
Operate and improve GSA
Ongoing health checks, connector monitoring, policy changes and licensing optimisation so your estate stays secure and cost-effective after go-live.
- Scope: observability, Defender / Sentinel integration, connector resilience, licensing right-size
- Deliverable: ops runbook + recurring health checks
- Typical: ongoing
Senior-led, delivery-focused and personal.
A small senior team with deep Global Secure Access specialisation — you work directly with the architects who scope and deliver your engagement.
Deep Global Secure Access specialisation
Senior architects with enterprise GSA design and operations experience across regulated and large-scale environments — the architects who scope your engagement are the ones who deliver it.
Faster turnaround
A focused senior specialist team. You work directly with the architects who deliver. We scope in days and ship in weeks, with a real timeline you can hold us to.
