  2. Zero Trust Architecture

    • Identity Verification
    • Least Privilege Access
    • Network Segmentation
    • Continuous Monitoring
  3. Security Operations

    • 24/7 Monitoring
    • Incident Response
    • Regular Audits
    • Security Updates
  4. Compliance Management

    • Regular Assessments
    • Policy Updates
    • Staff Training
    • Documentation
