Sequencing Zero Trust
The Missing Layer in Zero Trust Execution
The Department of Defense has made Zero Trust mandatory. By FY2027, agencies are expected to achieve Target Level maturity. By FY2032, agencies must advance to Advanced Level maturity. These are not conceptual goals. They are operational and compliance-driven mandates that will directly impact cybersecurity readiness, modernization strategies, procurement planning, and mission execution.
Yet many organizations need help in understanding how to progress through the Zero Trust journey.
Most agencies understand what activities need to be completed. Few understand the critical sequencing dependencies that determine how those activities should be implemented across the seven pillars of Zero Trust Architecture.
Without understanding sequencing, agencies risk:
- Investing in technologies before foundational requirements are in place
- Creating integration gaps between Zero Trust pillars
- Delaying compliance timelines
- Increasing operational complexity and cost
- Building architectures that fail to scale to advanced-level maturity
FRC developed Zero Trust Activity Sequence Diagrams, which are included in this white paper to solve this problem.
