// Zero-Trust Architecture Validation Services
// Why Zero-Trust Architectures Fail in Practice
Policy Drift
Policies are configured correctly at launch, then drift as infrastructure scales and exceptions accumulate.
Implicit Trust in Service Mesh
Services in the same cluster implicitly trust each other, even when mTLS is declared and never actually enforced.
Over-Privileged Identities
IAM roles accumulate permissions over time, so least privilege is declared in policy but violated in practice.
Our zero trust security testing checks whether declared policy actually matches the running system.
// What Jignect Validates in Zero-Trust Environments
IAM Testing
Identity validation and drift detection across AWS IAM, Azure Entra, Okta, and Auth0.
Micro-Segmentation
Boundary enforcement testing across VPC security groups, Kubernetes NetworkPolicy, and Calico.
Service Mesh
mTLS and sidecar proxy validation across Istio, Linkerd, and Consul Connect.
Lateral Movement
MITRE ATT&CK-mapped adversarial path simulation to prove segmentation actually holds.

Who is Zero-Trust Validation built for?
It's built for teams who've declared zero trust but never adversarially tested it; teams whose IAM roles have accumulated permissions over time; teams running a service mesh who assume mTLS is actually enforced; and teams needing ISO 27001 or NIST ZTA alignment evidence for audit.
What is zero-trust architecture validation?
Zero-trust architecture validation is actively testing that all components of a zero-trust implementation function as intended, focusing on identity controls, micro-segmentation, service mesh security, and lateral movement prevention under adversarial conditions.
How do you test micro-segmentation without impacting production?
We analyze security group rules offline first, then run non-disruptive connectivity testing from isolated environments, and simulate lateral movement within approved testing windows coordinated with your ops team.
Which identity providers do you work with?
AWS IAM and Cognito, Azure Active Directory, Okta, Auth0, Ping Identity, ForgeRock, and traditional LDAP/Active Directory, including hybrid and multi-cloud federation scenarios.
How do you simulate lateral movement?
We use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to simulate relevant techniques with tools like BloodHound and Impacket, logging every attempt to identify gaps in segmentation, IAM enforcement, or monitoring.
Is zero-trust validation the same as a penetration test?
No. A pentest seeks to compromise the whole system end to end. Zero-trust validation is narrower, assuming breach points already exist and testing whether your controls actually prevent lateral movement.
How long does a zero-trust validation engagement take?
A focused single-cloud engagement typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Comprehensive validation across hybrid, multi-cloud environments takes 8 to 12 weeks, across discovery, active testing, and reporting.
