Requirement
Zero Trust
A security model that trusts no user or device by default and verifies every access request.
Zero Trust is the architecture buyers now expect and a US federal mandate. Vendors that cannot map to it read as dated.
What buyers ask AI
- “Does this support a Zero Trust architecture?”
- “How does it handle identity and least-privilege access?”
- “Does it align with NIST 800-207?”
How it changes the recommendation
As buyers add Zero Trust language, AI favors vendors that describe their architecture in those terms and quietly demotes those that do not.
The evidence that proves it
What makes a buyer, and the AI reading your market, confident you satisfy this:
- Architecture documentation mapped to NIST 800-207
- Identity, segmentation, and least-privilege capabilities
- How you fit the buyer's existing identity provider
Where it comes up
Does AI believe you meet Zero Trust?
We show you whether AI can tell you satisfy the requirements that decide your deals, and what evidence would make it certain.
