CISA ZTMM 2.0 · continuous assessment

Prove zero trust maturity. Every day, not every audit.

ZTASphere reads evidence from the security tools you already own, scores all 40 functions and 182 criteria of the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, and keeps that score current. Leaders see where they stand. Owners see what to fix next.

The problem

You already bought the tools. What you can't show is the proof.

Most organizations still measure zero trust maturity by hand, once or twice a year, from screenshots and spreadsheets collected from dozens of tool owners. The result is out of date on the day it is published.

Today

Point-in-time and argued

  • About 9,000 staff hours a year spent gathering and re-gathering evidence (business case estimate)
  • Scores that depend on who filled in the spreadsheet
  • No warning when a control quietly drifts or a feed goes dark
  • Roadmaps disconnected from the gaps that matter most
With ZTASphere

Continuous and defensible

  • Evidence collected automatically from 17 security tools, read-only
  • Scored only on accepted, current evidence; anything older than 30 days stops counting
  • Alerts the SOC when a source goes silent or a maturity level drops
  • Gap-to-goal roadmap with approvals and verification built in
How it works

One closed loop from tool telemetry to verified improvement.

  1. Connect

    Link the identity, endpoint, network, cloud and data tools you already run.

  2. Understand

    Map every signal to the ZTMM function and criterion it proves.

  3. Assess

    Score 40 functions from fresh, accepted evidence only.

  4. Plan

    Rank the gaps between today and your target stage.

  5. Act

    Run improvement actions with approval and a canary step.

  6. Verify

    An independent reviewer confirms the result with new evidence.

  7. Monitor

    Watch every feed and every level, and alert on drift.

The product

Built for the people who answer for zero trust.

ZTMM oversight screen: sources flow into pillars and maturity levels, with an alarm for a source that stopped responding

See every source, pillar and level at once.

An animated map from each connected tool to the pillar it informs and the ZTMM stage it supports. Silent sources raise an alarm and a ticket automatically. Put it on the SOC wall display.

  • Pillar × stage matrix and 40 function tiles
  • Feed health: live, late, down, blocked
  • Open alerts linked to tickets
The yardstick

Scored on the model your auditors already use.

CISA ZTMM 2.0 defines five pillars (Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications and Workloads, Data), three cross-cutting capabilities, and four stages. ZTASphere implements the full catalog.

Traditional

Manual and static

Policies set by hand, siloed tools, and maturity known only at audit time.

Initial

Starting to automate

Some cross-pillar visibility and the first automated attribute checks.

Advanced

Centralized and coordinated

Automated controls, shared context across pillars, and response on risk.

Optimal

Fully automated and dynamic

Just-in-time access, continuous monitoring and self-adjusting policy.

Who it serves

One source of truth, a different answer for each seat.

CISO

Security leadership

Report maturity per pillar with evidence behind every number, see which investments move the score, and catch control drift before the auditor does.

CIO

Technology leadership

Turn EO 14028 and OMB M-22-09 goals into a funded, sequenced roadmap, and show progress in a format leadership and oversight bodies accept.

Authorizing official

Risk approval

Approve actions and risk exceptions with expiry dates, release reports, and rely on an audit trail that proves nobody edited history.

SOC and IR

Operations

Get alerted when a feed goes silent or a level drops, with tickets opened in the tools you already work in.

Assessors and auditors

Assurance

Review evidence with SHA-256 integrity checks, verify the hash-chained audit log in one click, and export assessor-ready packages.

The business case

Return staff time to security work.

From the ZTASphere 2.0 business case, expected scenario. Counts only staff time the platform removes; risk reduction and tool rationalization are excluded.
