UK NCSC guidance providing eight design principles for building and reviewing zero trust architectures. It is documentation rather than software, published for community feedback alongside the authoritative website version.

Use cases

  • design a zero trust architecture for my organization
  • learn zero trust concepts from scratch
  • evaluate vendor zero trust offerings
  • review an existing network architecture against zero trust principles
  • explain zero trust to board-level stakeholders

When to avoid

  • you need runnable software, tools, or code implementing zero trust
  • you want vendor-specific deployment instructions
  • you need a compliance certification or audit standard
