The Manpages Zero Trust Maturity Model
The Manpages Zero Trust Maturity Model exists to make sure this never happens. It is a framework to measure, benchmark, and level up your security posture in a world where trust is earned, never assumed. The model breaks Zero Trust into clear stages, each with measurable controls, technical policies, and operational discipline.
At its core, Zero Trust means no user, device, service, or request is trusted by default. Every identity and every action must be verified. The Manpages Zero Trust Maturity Model gives teams a common language for this, mapping maturity levels from ad‑hoc controls to fully automated, adaptive enforcement.
Level 0 is patchwork and reactive. Authentication is basic. Authorization logic is inconsistent. Monitoring is partial. At Level 1, identity management is centralized. Multi‑factor authentication is mandatory. Network segmentation is in place. Level 2 adds continuous verification, enforcing least privilege with granular policies and real‑time context. Level 3 delivers dynamic, AI‑assisted decisions, automated response, and unified observability across all assets and workloads.
The model is not theory—it is actionable. By aligning security strategy with each maturity level, teams can identify gaps, prioritize investments, and track progress over time. Logging, identity, network, and endpoint are measured together. No single domain can lag without weakening the whole.
Manpages has made the Zero Trust Maturity Model a practical tool for implementation. It is designed to integrate with modern CI/CD pipelines, cloud workloads, and hybrid infrastructure. It works for Kubernetes clusters, microservices, legacy systems, and distributed teams.
Security maturity is not static. Threats evolve. Systems change. Policies must adapt. The Manpages Zero Trust Maturity Model gives you a roadmap to quantify and improve trust boundaries continuously, without slowing development velocity.
