Consulting | Zero Trust

The right people reach the right systems, from anywhere

Zero-trust security moves your firm past the old VPN and firewall model to identity-based access that is checked on every request. Whether your team is in the studio, in a site trailer, or at home, they open a Revit model or reach a project share the same way, without a VPN client in the way.

Access that follows your people, not your perimeter

Your team has not worked inside one building for years. Designers, project leads, and field staff move between the studio, the site trailer, and the kitchen table, and the old perimeter-and-VPN model was built for a single office. Zero trust assumes no connection is safe by default and verifies identity and device on every request, so the right people reach the right systems and no one else does.

Verified per request

Instead of trusting anyone already on the network, every request is checked against who the person is, what device they are on, and what they are allowed to touch. A stolen password alone does not open the door.

Least privilege by default

People get access to the specific projects, files, and tools their role needs, and nothing more. When a project wraps or someone changes teams, access narrows with them automatically.

Built for a distributed firm

Delivered with Cloudflare, access works the same from a downtown studio, a remote job site, or a home office. There is no VPN client to fight with before someone can open a model.

Security that stays out of the way

People sign in once and open the project they need, on the studio workstation or a laptop in the field. We tune policies to how your teams actually work, so there are fewer workarounds and less for anyone to fight with.

Sound Familiar?

Is your VPN quietly holding your firm back?

Most firms are still securing a distributed workforce with tools designed for a single office. Here is where that gap tends to show up.

VPN that everyone avoids

The VPN is slow, drops constantly, and chokes on large Revit and point-cloud files, so staff route around it. Project data ends up moving through personal cloud accounts and email that IT cannot see or control.

One password from a breach

Once an attacker is on the VPN, they are treated as trusted and can move sideways across the network. A single phished login can reach far more than one mailbox.

Project IP with no real boundary

Drawings, models, and client files sit on shares that almost everyone can open. There is no clean way to limit a contractor or a departing employee to just the project they actually need.

Access that never gets cleaned up

People keep access to old projects, former clients, and tools they stopped using months ago. Offboarding misses accounts, and stale permissions pile up quietly.

Field and home access bolted on

Connecting from a job site or a home office means exceptions, shared logins, or open ports that were meant to be temporary and never got closed.

Phishing that slips straight through

Convincing emails and lookalike login pages walk past basic filters, and once credentials are handed over there is nothing standing between the attacker and your systems.

The Resolved Difference

What you get from Resolved Zero Trust

We design and run zero-trust access for your firm in partnership with Cloudflare, then keep it tuned as your projects, people, and tools change.

Cloudflare Zero Trust access

We replace your legacy VPN with Cloudflare-delivered access that brokers every connection by identity and device, with no inbound ports exposed to the internet.

Identity-based, least-privilege rules

Access policies tied to your existing identity provider and built around projects and roles, so each person reaches exactly the systems they need and nothing more.

Protected project IP and design tools

Your file shares, model servers, BIM and design applications, and internal apps sit behind verified access, so sensitive work is reachable only by the right people.

Phishing and lateral-movement defence

Strong multi-factor checks and per-request verification keep stolen credentials from paying off and stop an attacker who gets one foothold from spreading across the firm.

Fast access, no VPN client

Single sign-on and policies tuned to how your teams work mean people open a model or a project share from the studio, the site, or home, with no VPN client to babysit.

Managed and kept current

We handle rollout, onboarding and offboarding, policy changes as projects start and finish, and ongoing monitoring, so access stays tight without adding work for you.

Will this replace our VPN? +

Yes. We replace your legacy VPN with Cloudflare-delivered access that brokers every connection by identity and device, with no inbound ports exposed to the internet and no VPN client to fight with before someone can open a model.

How does zero trust protect our project files if a password is stolen? +

A stolen password alone does not open the door. Strong multi-factor checks and per-request verification keep stolen credentials from paying off, and access is least-privilege, so each person reaches exactly the systems they need and an attacker with one foothold cannot spread across the firm.

What happens to access when a project wraps or someone leaves? +
