Never Trust. Always Verify.
Every User. Every Device. Every Request.
The perimeter is gone. Users work from anywhere. Applications run everywhere. Data moves across clouds. A firewall at the edge no longer protects what matters. Zero-Trust replaces the perimeter with continuous identity verification at every access point. Symhas designs and implements Zero-Trust security models across your Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP environments — identity-first, least-privilege, continuously authenticated. Embedded in your transformation programme from day one, not bolted on at the end.

What We Deliver
Core Capabilities.
Embedded From Day One.
Identity & Access Management (IAM) OCI · AWS · Azure · Okta · Microsoft Entra
Identity is the new perimeter. We design and implement IAM across your multi-cloud environment — enforcing least-privilege access, conditional access policies, and continuous authentication for every user, service, and application.
Identity federation and single sign-on (SSO) across OCI, AWS, Azure, and on-premises
Role-based and attribute-based access control (RBAC / ABAC) design
Conditional access policies — device compliance, location, risk score
Service account governance — automated rotation, scope minimisation
Integration with Oracle Fusion RBAC and Oracle Identity Governance (OIG)
→ Every access decision verified against identity, device health, and context — not network location
Network Microsegmentation East-west · Lateral movement · Software-defined
Zero-Trust network architecture eliminates the flat network where a compromised endpoint can reach everything. We design and implement microsegmentation that isolates workloads, applications, and data at a granular level.
Application-layer microsegmentation — workloads communicate only with defined peers
East-west traffic inspection — lateral movement detected and blocked
Oracle Cloud network security groups and VCN architecture design
AWS Security Groups, NACLs, and PrivateLink topology
Software-defined perimeter (SDP) for remote access without VPN exposure
→ Breach containment radius reduced from the entire network to a single workload
Privileged Access Management (PAM) Just-in-time · Session recording · Vault
Privileged accounts are the primary target of sophisticated attackers. We implement PAM solutions that eliminate standing privilege, enforce just-in-time access, and record every privileged session for audit.
Just-in-time (JIT) privileged access — no standing admin accounts
Privileged session recording and monitoring
Secrets vault — API keys, certificates, and credentials managed centrally
Break-glass procedures with dual-control and automatic alert
Integration with Oracle Identity Analytics for privilege review automation
→ Privileged account compromise — the most common attack vector — made structurally harder
Endpoint & Device Trust Device compliance · MDM · Posture assessment
Zero-Trust access decisions incorporate device health. An unmanaged or compromised device presenting valid credentials is still denied. We implement device trust signals that feed into every access policy.
Mobile device management (MDM) policy design and enforcement
Device compliance posture integrated into conditional access policies
Certificate-based device authentication for managed endpoints
Unmanaged device access controls — read-only or isolated environment
Continuous device posture assessment during active sessions
→ Valid credentials on a compromised device do not grant access — device health is always verified
How We Work
Assessment to Audit-Ready in 12 Weeks.

Every engagement follows a structured four-phase model with defined go/no-go gates. Fixed price. Fixed timeline. Controls embedded from day one.

01
Discovery & Threat Modelling Weeks 1–2

Map all identity sources, access paths, and trust boundaries. Threat model based on your environment and industry. Zero-Trust maturity baseline established against NIST SP 800-207.

02
Architecture Design & Approval Weeks 3–4

Zero-Trust architecture blueprint produced. IAM model, microsegmentation design, and PAM approach approved by security leadership. Go/no-go gate before implementation begins.

03
Implementation & Integration Weeks 5–10

IAM, microsegmentation, and PAM controls implemented and tested. Integration with Oracle Fusion security model. Penetration test to validate microsegmentation effectiveness.

04
Certification & Handover Weeks 11–12

Security team trained and certified on Zero-Trust operations and incident response. Runbooks documented. Symhas moves to quarterly advisory. Monitoring and alerting live.

Zero-Trust Across 47 Systems in 12 Weeks.

A global asset management firm running 47 data and technology systems had a flat network architecture where a compromised endpoint in any system could reach trading, risk, and client data. Previous security reviews had flagged lateral movement risk repeatedly without a remediation plan.

Symhas designed and implemented a full Zero-Trust architecture across their OCI and AWS environments — replacing the flat network with microsegmented workloads, implementing JIT privileged access, and federating identity across all 47 systems.

What was delivered

Zero-Trust Architecture — Financial Services Production Deployment

Microsoft Entra ID federation across all 47 systems — single identity plane
Conditional access policies with device compliance, MFA, and location-based risk scoring
OCI and AWS network microsegmentation — 23 isolated workload segments
CyberArk PAM — JIT privileged access replacing 140 standing admin accounts
Privileged session recording for all production system access
Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) replacing legacy VPN for remote access

"For the first time we can answer the question: if one of our endpoints is compromised, where can the attacker go? The answer is now: nowhere else."

Compliance Frameworks
Every Framework Relevant to This Capability.

Controls are designed to satisfy multiple frameworks simultaneously where possible. One implementation. Multiple certifications.

Supported
NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture Standard

The definitive US government framework for Zero-Trust architecture. Every Symhas Zero-Trust deployment is assessed against NIST SP 800-207 tenets and scored for maturity.

All seven Zero-Trust tenets implemented and documented
Maturity level scored at assessment and post-deployment
Architecture decision record mapped to NIST guidance
Supported
SOC 2 Type II Service Organisation Control 2

Zero-Trust controls directly satisfy SOC 2 security and confidentiality criteria. IAM, microsegmentation, and PAM generate the evidence trail needed for continuous compliance.

Logical access controls — CC6 criteria satisfied by IAM design
Network security controls — CC6.6 satisfied by microsegmentation
Privileged access monitoring — CC6.3 satisfied by PAM and session recording
Supported
ISO 27001 Information Security Management System

Annex A controls A.9 (Access Control) and A.13 (Network Security) are directly addressed by Zero-Trust implementation. Control evidence is generated automatically.

A.9 Access Control — IAM and least-privilege design
A.13 Network Security — microsegmentation and traffic inspection
A.12.4 Logging — privileged session recording and audit trail

Why Symhas
Security Expertise Built from Production Engagements.
Embedded in Delivery, Not Bolted On Zero-Trust architecture is designed at the same time as the cloud and ERP architecture — not reviewed after it is built. Identity, network, and privilege decisions are made in week 1, not week 40.
Oracle-Native IAM Expertise Oracle Fusion has its own IAM model — roles, data security policies, and segregation of duties. Symhas designs the Zero-Trust IAM layer to work with Oracle Fusion RBAC, not around it.
Multi-Cloud, One Model Zero-Trust across OCI, AWS, Azure, and on-premises needs a consistent policy model, not four different configurations. Symhas designs a unified identity and network security model that enforces consistently across every environment.
No Standing Privilege by Default Every Symhas Zero-Trust deployment removes standing privileged accounts as a design principle. JIT access, session recording, and break-glass controls are configured before the first privileged user logs in.
Penetration-Tested at Handover Every Zero-Trust deployment is penetration-tested before handover. We validate that microsegmentation actually prevents lateral movement — not just that the configuration looks correct on paper.
Your Team Owns It By Week 12 your security team is trained on IAM administration, PAM operations, and microsegmentation policy management. Symhas moves to quarterly advisory. No dependency created.
