Zero Trust Planning

College students looking at computer on campus

Zero Trust Matters Now. Security environments across campus can fragment quickly as systems, identities, vendors, and emerging AI tools create new paths to access. Moran helps institutions understand current maturity, identify architectural gaps, and build a practical Zero Trust strategy grounded in institutional reality.

Why Security Strategy Breaks Down

Many campus leaders face the challenge of competing priorities, governance realities, and campus complexity, all of which change over time.

Our roadmap helps institutions assess where Zero Trust capabilities stand today. Then, we’ll work with you to develop what needs to change in the architecture and create a plan leaders can explain and act on.

How Your Roadmap Gets Built

Our structured, workshop-driven process to create understanding, surface real risks and assumptions, and translate what the institution learns into a phased, realistic roadmap.
  • Level-set the Conversation
    We begin with education that helps stakeholders build a shared understanding of security in the wider campus context.

  • Surface What is Real
    Through interactive workshops, Moran works with your team to uncover real risks, assumptions, gaps, and root causes.

  • Build a Phased Roadmap
    We translate those conversations into practical recommendations and a roadmap you can explain, defend, and put into place.

What Institutions Gain

Our Zero Trust Planning engagement helps institutions move out of reactive security work and into the decision-making phase.
  • Our Zero Trust Planning engagement helps institutions move out of reactive security work and into the decision-making phase.

  • Leaders gain a clearer understanding of what matters most and why.

  • Stakeholders gain stronger alignment on priorities.

  • The institution gains a defensible plan it can communicate and act on.

  • The Moran Cybersecurity team was able to provide invaluable insights in our governance and security practices so that we could refine our processes, mitigate risk, and become GLBA compliant. They did a fantastic job understanding our business needs and objectives so that the engagement provided the greatest alignment with our business needs. Moran will continue to be a key partner in our security journey for many years to come!

  • Over the years, our partnership with Moran has been paramount to our security strategy and organizational success. Their unwavering commitment to our security posture, strategic guidance, and hands-on support — especially through the placement of a dedicated virtual Chief Information Security Officer — has elevated our resilience and readiness in an increasingly complex threat landscape. They’ve been more than a vendor; they’ve been a true extension of our team.

  • The collaborative approach to Moran’s information security assessment was a highly valuable engagement. They went beyond just delivering a report, working with our team to create a plan that leverages our internal expertise. Moran transformed a standard assessment into a scalable plan for actionable progress.

  • Cybersecurity strategy evolves rapidly with emerging threats and as a small university with no dedicated cybersecurity staff, most of our efforts were still focused solely on protection and prevention. The Moran Cybersecurity team used the NIST CSF 2.0 as a tool to teach us what’s expected of a mature cybersecurity program and give us a roadmap to build a comprehensive program — all while demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the unique challenges small universities face.
