Microsoft Global Secure Access Design Assistance

To increase the security of the administration of its most criticial assets, has designed a Privileged Access Workstation called NEO Red. Initially designed to secure the access to Windows servers hosting Equans Directory Controlers and PKI, Equans is extending the scope of this PAW to the administration of Cloud environments like Azure and AWS platforms. The first design of NEO Red was based on Zscaler to enforce some cyber requirements. However Zscaler is not able to fullfill correctly all the new requirements and Equans is considering Microsoft Global Secure Access as a complement to Zscaler. As MS GSA is not part of the current solution catalog, we have few knowledge of the solution and are looking for an assistance.

That assistance missions and deliverables are the following

• Assist company in the design of the NEO Red workstation with Global Secure Access

• Validate and test the colocation of Zscaler and Global Secure Access on the same workstation

• In case of non compatibility, review the actual design to fully substitute Zscaler by Global Secure Acess

• Implement a full proof of concept and produce proof of cyber requirement enforcement

• Produce the target architecture

• Deliver high level design and low level design document

• Assist operation teams in producing their BAU documents

Equans is looking for an assistance with a strong knowledge on Microsoft Global Secure Access with successfull experiences on deployement of the solution.

Equans is considering deploying the following features of Global Secure Access

• Entra Internet Access

• Entra Private Access

• Universal Continuous Access Evaluation, especially in relation with Microsoft EntraID Protection

• Universal Tenant Restriction

Exact list of cyber requirements to fullfill will be disclosed at the beginning of the mission

All the deliverables and most of the meeting will have to be in plain english.

The mission can be performed remotely. If possible some meetings may be located in Paris La Defense.

The estimated delivery deadline is end of October. Intermediate delivery will have to be discussed at the beginning of the mission
