Zero Trust
Zero Trust
Achieve HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, CMMC, and NIST compliance with Net-Tech, your professional technology organization (PTO)
Zero Trust is not a product you buy. It is how an environment is designed: nothing is trusted by default, every request is verified, and access is limited to exactly what the work requires. Net-Tech builds that architecture into your systems, and the frameworks your industry answers to are satisfied as a result.
The Shift
The Perimeter Stopped Being the Boundary
The old model drew a line around the office and trusted everything inside it. That line no longer describes how anyone works. Applications live in the cloud, employees connect from home and the field, vendors touch your systems, and a single stolen password can put an attacker on the trusted side of a network that was built to assume the best about whoever is already there.
Zero Trust removes that assumption. Every user and every device proves who it is before it reaches anything, access is scoped to the specific work at hand, and the environment is divided so a problem in one place cannot travel to the rest. Verification happens continuously rather than once at the door.
As a professional technology organization, Net-Tech implements that architecture as part of how your IT is built and operated, not as a project bolted on afterward. The controls are designed in, monitored, documented, and updated as requirements evolve.
Verify every time, not once
The Principles
Four Ideas That Define Zero Trust
Every framework below expresses these same four ideas in its own language.
Verify every identity
Every user and device proves who it is before it reaches anything, every time, rather than once at the edge of the network.
Grant least privilege
People and systems get access to exactly what their work requires and nothing beyond it.
Segment the environment
The network is divided so an incident in one place cannot travel to the rest of the organization.
Verify continuously
Trust is reassessed as conditions change, including device posture, location, and behavior.
How It Is Built
What Zero Trust Looks Like in Your Environment
These are the disciplines Net-Tech already runs as a program, applied so that trust is earned rather than assumed.
Identity and multifactor authentication
Multifactor authentication on the accounts that matter most, with unique credentials for every user, so a stolen password is only half the key.
Controlled, conditional access
Access to organizational data and systems granted by role and by context, so only the right people reach the information their work requires.
Network segmentation
Managed firewalls and switches with secure segmentation and advanced threat protection, keeping sensitive systems contained and defensible.
Encryption and patching
Data encrypted and software kept patched and current across the fleet, closing the gaps that attackers look for first.
Monitored 24x7x365
Systems watched continuously with logging in place, real-time notification of outages, and best practice protocols for restoration.
Backup and disaster recovery
Enterprise backup and disaster recovery systems built into the architecture of the program, so an incident does not become a catastrophe.
Workforce training
Training for your employees is included in the defined Net-Tech programs, so your staff becomes the first line of defense rather than the biggest risk.
Documentation and evidence
Configurations, changes, and monitoring documented as they happen, so proof of the controls in operation already exists when it is requested.
The Result
Build It Once, Satisfy Every Framework
Each framework asks a different regulator a different question, but they are asking about the same controls: who can reach the data, how access is proven, how the environment is contained, and how you can demonstrate all of it. Build Zero Trust properly and compliance becomes the byproduct.
HIPAA
Protect patient data and meet healthcare regulations.
Access controls, audit logging, and a documented risk analysis of every system that touches electronic PHI.
HIPAA CompliancePCI DSS
Secure payment data and meet card industry standards.
Segmented networks, strong access control with multifactor authentication, and continuous monitoring of the cardholder data environment.
PCI DSS ComplianceSOC 2
Prove your security controls to clients and auditors.
Controls that operate continuously across a review period, with the evidence to show they did.
SOC 2 ComplianceCMMC
Meet DoD cybersecurity requirements for federal contracts.
The security controls, documentation, and practices your certification level requires, kept operating between assessments.
CMMC ComplianceNIST 800-171
Safeguard controlled unclassified information for federal work.
110 security requirements spanning access control, authentication, encryption, monitoring, and incident response.

Benefits of Zero Trust With Net-Tech
One architecture, five frameworks
The controls you build once are the controls each framework asks you to prove.
A stolen password is not enough
Multifactor authentication and least-privilege access mean one compromised credential does not open the environment.
A smaller blast radius
Segmentation contains what any single incident can reach, which protects your data and shrinks your assessments.
Evidence that already exists
Controls are documented as they operate, so an audit becomes a review rather than a scramble.
Employees who know the rules
Training and clear procedures are included, so your staff supports the architecture instead of working around it.
Predictable cost
The controls, monitoring, and upkeep are part of the subscription. No emergency remediation bills.
1983 Serving Western Washington
Track Record
An Architecture, Not a Purchase
Since 1983, Net-Tech has built and run technology for Western Washington organizations that answer to strict rules, across healthcare, accounting, wealth management, nonprofit, construction, property management, and staffing. Each one faces a different regulator. All of them need the same thing underneath: an environment where access is proven, contained, and documented.
The IT direction for your company is planned, executed, and evolves with the industry and its regulations. Because the roadmap typically looks 48 months ahead, the architecture keeps pace with requirements instead of being rebuilt each time they change.
