Your Journey With Orion
Where This Product Fits In Your Transformation
The Approach
Granular Network Segmentation For Zero Trust
We implement comprehensive network segmentation using Microsoft cloud and hybrid capabilities, ensuring each segment is isolated and protected against lateral threat movement.
Discovery & Design
We begin by understanding your current network topology and security posture.
- Review of current network topology and application flows
- Assessment of data and AI workloads
- Analysis of identity and access management
- Micro-segmentation planning based on least privilege
Build & Configuration
We deploy the segmented network architecture using Infrastructure as Code.
- Deployment of VNets, Subnets, Peering, and Firewall using Terraform or Azure Bicep
- Implementation of granular Network Security Group rules
- Configuration of Azure Firewall for traffic inspection
- Setup of Azure Private Endpoints for critical data services
Validation & Hardening
We ensure security policies are enforced and continuously monitored.
- Flow testing to validate segmentation and block unauthorized access
- Azure Policy enforcement to prevent non-compliant resources
- Integration with Azure Monitor and Microsoft Sentinel
- Continuous visibility into traffic patterns and policy violations
What You Get
Concrete Security Outputs
At the end of the engagement you receive a fully configured, segmented, and secure network environment with documented access policies and monitoring dashboards.
01
Segmented Network Architecture
Complete network topology with logical boundaries defined by environment, data classification, and workload type. Segments isolated to prevent lateral movement.
02
Access Policies Documentation
Comprehensive documentation of the segmented network topology, access matrix, and security policies with clear guidelines for managing segmentation controls.
03
Monitoring Dashboards
Integrated network flow logs with Azure Monitor and Microsoft Sentinel providing continuous visibility into traffic patterns and policy violations.
04
Network Security Group Rules
Granular NSG rules implemented on subnets hosting data and AI resources, configured with least privilege principles and micro-segmentation boundaries.
05
Azure Policy Enforcement
Automated policy enforcement to ensure compliance by preventing creation of unsegmented resources or resources violating the established network baseline.
06
Knowledge Transfer & Training
Training sessions for security and operations teams on managing segmentation controls, interpreting monitoring data, and adapting policies for ongoing security.

Engagement Structure
Five Weeks To Zero Trust Security
A structured engagement taking you from discovery to a fully hardened and monitored zero trust network environment.
1
Week 1 • Discovery & Design
Assessment & Micro-Segmentation Planning
Review of current network topology, application flows (especially for data and AI workloads), identity/access management, and existing security controls. Define logical boundaries based on the principle of least privilege. Segments are typically defined by environment (Prod/Dev), data classification (High/Medium/Low), or workload type (Data Lake, ML Model Training, API Gateway). Design the initial set of Network Security Group (NSG) rules and policy blueprint.
2
Week 2 • Build & Configuration
Infrastructure & Control Implementation
Deployment of the new network architecture (VNets, Subnets, Peering, Firewall) using tools like Terraform or Azure Bicep for consistency and repeatability. Configure the core segmentation controls: NSGs with granular rules on subnets hosting data and AI resources, Azure Firewall for central traffic inspection and filtering for north/south and critical east/west traffic, and Azure Private Endpoints for secure, private connections to critical Azure data services (e.g., Azure SQL, Azure Storage, Azure Machine Learning workspaces) to eliminate public internet exposure.
3
Week 3 • Validation & Hardening
Flow Testing & Policy Enforcement
Validate that all required application and data flows are functioning correctly, and, crucially, that all unauthorized lateral movement attempts are blocked. Implement Azure Policy to ensure compliance by preventing the creation of unsegmented resources or resources that violate the established network baseline. Integrate network flow logs with Azure Monitor and Microsoft Sentinel to provide continuous visibility into traffic patterns and policy violations.
4
Week 4 • Handover & Knowledge Transfer
Documentation & Training
Comprehensive documentation of the segmented network topology, access matrix, and security policies. Training session for your security and operations teams on managing the segmentation controls, interpreting monitoring data, and adapting policies for ongoing security management and optimisation.
5
Week 5 • Final Review & Optimisation
Finalization & Ongoing Support
Final review of all implemented controls, validation of monitoring and alerting systems, and preparation for ongoing operations. Handover of all documentation, access credentials, and final recommendations for maintaining and evolving the zero trust network architecture.
Value & Confidence
