Workshop Guidance

Overview​

Use this guidance to prepare for and deliver a Zero Trust workshop for your customers or your organization. Each pillar includes recommended projects, implementation considerations, and supporting resources to help you facilitate discussions and tailor a roadmap to the organization’s needs.

During the workshop, review the recommended projects with stakeholders, document their current status, and prioritize next steps based on business goals, security requirements, and available resources. The outcome is an actionable Zero Trust roadmap that guides implementation over the next 12–24 months.
