Zero Trust Security Checklist
A 47-point implementation checklist for deploying Zero Trust architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Covers identity verification, microsegmentation, least privilege enforcement, and continuous monitoring — built from FedRAMP and CMMC compliance frameworks used across defense and healthcare enterprise environments.
What the Checklist Covers
47 actionable items across 6 Zero Trust pillars.
Identity Verification
MFA enforcement, conditional access policies, identity provider federation, and privileged identity management across all cloud accounts.
Device Trust
Endpoint compliance checks, device attestation, certificate-based authentication, and MDM integration for accessing cloud resources.
Network Microsegmentation
VPC isolation, security group hardening, service mesh deployment, and east-west traffic inspection using AWS VPC Flow Logs and Azure NSGs.
Least Privilege Access
IAM policy auditing, permission boundaries, just-in-time access provisioning, and service account credential rotation across all three clouds.
Data Protection
Encryption at rest and in transit, DLP policies, data classification tagging, and key management using AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and GCP Cloud KMS.
Continuous Monitoring
SIEM integration, anomaly detection, automated incident response playbooks, and compliance drift monitoring using CloudTrail, Sentinel, and Chronicle.
Zero Trust Security Checklist
Free 47-point checklist covering all six Zero Trust pillars for AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Aligned with NIST SP 800-207 and FedRAMP.
