Access to applications. Not the whole network.
VPN gives users network access. Zero Trust gives users application access. We replace legacy VPN with application-level controls so your staff, contractors, and third parties access only what they need across your UK business.

Application access capabilities.
Per-Application Access Policies
Access policies defined at the application level, not the network level. Each application has its own access requirements based on sensitivity, data classification, and user role. No blanket network access granted.
Zero Trust Network Access Replacement for VPN
Legacy VPN replaced with application-level Zero Trust Network Access. Users connect directly to the applications they need without network-level access. Attack surface reduced dramatically.
Cloud and SaaS Application Protection
Cloud applications, SaaS tools, and on-premise systems all brought under the same Zero Trust policy framework. Consistent access controls regardless of where the application is hosted.
Contractor and Third-Party Access
Contractors and third parties granted access to specific applications only. No network access, no lateral movement risk. Access time-limited and automatically revoked at project end.
Application Discovery and Shadow IT Control
All applications accessed by your users discovered and catalogued. Shadow IT identified and brought under policy control or blocked. Full visibility of your application estate.
Session Recording and Data Loss Prevention
Sensitive application sessions recorded for audit and compliance purposes. Data loss prevention policies applied at the application level. File downloads, uploads, and sharing controlled per application.
From VPN to application-level Zero Trust.
Application Portfolio Discovery
We discover all applications accessed by your users, including shadow IT and unsanctioned tools. Applications classified by sensitivity and data type. Access requirements documented per application.
Access Policy Design
Per-application access policies designed based on user roles, data sensitivity, and compliance requirements. Policies define who can access each application, from which devices, and under what conditions.
ZTNA Platform Configuration
Zero Trust Network Access platform configured to broker application access. Applications published through the ZTNA platform. Legacy VPN access removed in phases as ZTNA coverage expands.
Contractor and Third-Party Onboarding
Contractor access workflows configured. Third parties onboarded to specific applications without network access. Access request and approval processes documented and automated.
Shadow IT Remediation
Discovered shadow IT applications reviewed with business owners. Sanctioned applications brought under policy control. Unsanctioned applications blocked with user communication explaining the policy.
Ongoing Application Governance
New applications onboarded under Zero Trust from day one. Access policies reviewed quarterly. Application access reports produced monthly. Unused access permissions removed automatically.
Application access deployed across the UK.
Challenge: A Bristol professional services firm was giving all remote staff full VPN access to the internal network to reach a single finance application. A compromised VPN account gave an attacker access to every server on the network.
Outcome: VPN replaced with application-level ZTNA. Finance application published through Zero Trust broker. Staff access only the finance application. Network access eliminated. Cyber insurance premium reduced by 22%.
Challenge: A Reading technology company needed to give 40 contractors access to a project management system and code repository without exposing the rest of their infrastructure or managing complex VPN accounts.
Outcome: Application-level access configured for contractors. Access limited to two specific applications. No network access granted. Contractor onboarding reduced from 2 days to 30 minutes. Access revoked automatically at project end.
Challenge: A Liverpool retail business discovered staff were using 23 unsanctioned SaaS applications to share customer data and business documents. No visibility, no control, and significant GDPR exposure.
Outcome: Application discovery deployed. All 23 shadow IT applications identified. 14 brought under policy control with appropriate data handling rules. 9 blocked with user communication. GDPR exposure eliminated.
Replace your VPN with application-level Zero Trust access.
We assess your current application access model, identify where network-level access is being used unnecessarily, and deploy application-level controls. Free assessment for UK businesses, no obligation.
