Zero Trust shows up in RFPs and insurance questionnaires as if it were a product SKU. For a Lincoln professional office or an Omaha multi-site firm, it is a discipline: never trust the network location alone, always verify the user and device, and limit how far a stolen session can travel.
SAINT does not sell a branded “Zero Trust Platform” badge. We harden Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, put MFA where attackers actually walk in, and size Huntress or Guardz so identity abuse is not invisible.
The SMB-sized Zero Trust sequence
- Inventory identities — humans, shared mailboxes, break-glass admins, service accounts.
- MFA everywhere it counts — email/cloud apps, VPN/remote access, privileged roles. “Users have MFA” while Global Admins do not is a partial.
- Kill shared passwords — front-desk and AP shared logins are BEC fuel, especially in Omaha’s insurance/finance gravity.
- Conditional access / context — device compliance and location signals where Entra or Google allow it without breaking the shop floor.
- Segment later — camera VLANs, guest Wi-Fi, and plant/OT separation when the LAN is ready — network design, not a slide deck.
What we refuse to claim
- That a weekend project makes you “Zero Trust certified.”
- That VPN removal is mandatory for every clinic or yard.
- That Copilot or Workspace AI is safe before oversharing is cleaned up.
Geography honesty
Headquarters is Hickman. Lincoln is the closer primary market; Omaha is scheduled I-80 on-site with continuous remote ops. Same identity standards in both — different building counts.
