NIST 800-207 • DoD Zero Trust

Zero Trust Architecture

Implement modern Zero Trust security framework with micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and least-privilege access controls. Thalen Technologies delivers NIST 800-207 and DoD Zero Trust Reference Architecture implementations for government agencies (federal, state, local) eliminating implicit trust.

Core Principles

Six Pillars of Zero Trust

Comprehensive Zero Trust implementation across identity, devices, networks, data, applications, and visibility.

Identity

Strong identity verification with multi-factor authentication, continuous validation, and risk-based access policies.

  • MFA/PIV authentication
  • Continuous verification
  • Risk-based policies
  • Identity governance

Devices

Device compliance validation, health attestation, and endpoint security before granting network access.

  • Device compliance
  • Health attestation
  • Endpoint security
  • Mobile device management

Network

Micro-segmentation, encrypted communications, and software-defined perimeters to prevent lateral movement.

  • Micro-segmentation
  • Encrypted traffic
  • Software-defined perimeter
  • Network access control

Data

Data classification, encryption at rest and in transit, and data loss prevention to protect sensitive information.

  • Data classification
  • Encryption (FIPS 140-2)
  • Data loss prevention
  • Rights management

Applications

Application-level security controls, API security, and secure software development lifecycle practices.

  • Application security
  • API protection
  • Secure SDLC
  • Container security

Visibility & Analytics

Comprehensive logging, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence to detect and respond to anomalies.

  • Centralized logging
  • Behavioral analytics
  • Threat intelligence
  • Automated response

Our Process

Zero Trust Implementation Roadmap
