Maturity Model
Zero Trust roadmap literacy — phased pillars, quick wins, dependencies — roadmap Gantt stub on YOUR $ZT_LAB roadmap folder.
Visual · t40_zt_roadmap
ZT roadmap. $ZT_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
ZT is a journey — document Phase 1 quick wins and Phase 2–3 dependencies on LAB-ZT-001 without fake completed vendor checkmarks.
Roadmap phases: Phase 1 identity+MFA+legacy auth block; Phase 2 device compliance+ZTNA pilot; Phase 3 microseg+dlp+full policy engine literacy. Dependencies: IdP before ZTNA, classification before DLP enforce. Gantt stub: milestone | quarter | owner | dependency — fictional 18-month plan. Next: Maturity Named.
1. Phase structure (named)
Phase 1: visibility + identity baseline. Phase 2: device + ZTNA + data classify. Phase 3: microseg enforce + advanced PDP + metrics.
Quick wins build credibility — document three Phase 1 wins on stub.

# ZT Roadmap Gantt Stub — LAB-ZT-001 (18-month fictional)
| Milestone | Phase | Quarter | Owner | Dependency |
|-----------|-------|---------|-------|------------|
| M-01 Block legacy auth | 1 | Q3-2026 | IdP team | IdP inventory |

python3 -c "print('Roadmap: phased milestones with dependencies — honest gaps OK')"Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: CISA ZTMM (https://www.cisa.gov/zero-trust-maturity-model); NIST SP 800-207 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-207/final). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Dependencies
Cannot enforce DLP without labels. ZTNA needs IdP CA policies. Microseg needs asset inventory literacy.
Link gaps honestly — roadmap is not marketing all-green.
3. Gantt stub
Twelve milestones across three phases with owner and dependency column.
Ship: roadmap Gantt stub. Next: Maturity Named.
4. What you ship: ZT roadmap Gantt stub
Twelve milestones, three phases, dependencies noted. $ZT_LAB fictional. chmod 600.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Date. Roadmap stub. $ZT_LAB named. File t40-m09-l01-zt-roadmap.txt chmod 600.
6. Wrong vs right: bypass cookbooks vs YOUR ZT design
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Mark all pillars complete day one. Skip dependency column.
Right
Write phased roadmap with three quick wins in Phase 1. Next: Maturity Named.
Mission: ZT roadmap stub
1) Define three phases. 2) Twelve milestones with quarters. 3) Three dependency notes. 4) chmod 600.
