Introduction
By 2026, Zero Trust has moved from a security buzzword to a board-level mandate. Yet for many organizations, the challenge isn’t accepting the need for Zero Trust—it’s knowing where to start, what to prioritize, and how to align teams around a unified roadmap.
That’s why Microsoft’s Zero Trust Workshop has become one of the fastest-growing engagement models for enterprises beginning or accelerating their Zero Trust journey.
If you are evaluating a workshop for your organization, here are the 5 things you can expect from a high-quality Microsoft Zero Trust Workshop led by experts like Netwoven.
1. A Full Assessment of Your Current Zero Trust Maturity
Most organizations believe they are farther along than they actually are.
In the workshop, expect:
- A pillar-by-pillar maturity assessment (Identity, Devices, Network, Data, Infrastructure, SecOps)
- A review of identity risks, Conditional Access policies, device trust posture, and network segmentation
- Benchmarking against Microsoft’s 2026 Zero Trust Maturity Framework
- Identification of legacy authentication, privileged access gaps, and misconfigurations
Why it matters:
You leave with data-driven clarity—not assumptions.
2. A Deep Dive into Identity as the New Security Control Plane
In 2026, Microsoft has doubled down on identity-driven security.
The workshop dedicates significant time to areas like:
- Microsoft Entra ID governance posture
- PIM (Privileged Identity Management) readiness
- Passwordless adoption roadmap
- Identity protection & risky user insights
- Conditional Access strategy tuning
- Cross-tenant collaboration governance
Why it matters:
Over 80% of Zero Trust incidents begin with identity.
This session shows exactly what’s putting you at risk.
3. Hands-On Scenarios Tailored to Your Business
You won’t get generic slides.
Zero Trust Workshops now include scenario-based guidance such as:
- Enabling identity-based access with device compliance
- Implementing segmentation for critical apps
- Protecting external collaboration & supply-chain partners
- Integrating Defender for Identity signals into SecOps
- Creating an automated enforcement model for least privilege
Why it matters:
You see Zero Trust in action—aligned to your industry, users, and real-world workflows.
4. A Prioritized 60–90 Day Zero Trust Roadmap
By the end of the workshop, you receive:
- A prioritized action plan sorted by effort vs. risk reduction
- Recommendations across identity, network, data, and SecOps
- A technical roadmap for your top 3 Zero Trust scenarios
- A 60–90 day implementation blueprint
