NAC — Network Access Control
Know who has access.
Network Access Control
Identify users and devices on wired and wireless networks; manage access through identity, device compliance and corporate security policies.
Solution Scope
NAC — Network Access Control
Network Access Control (NAC) evaluates the identity and security posture of connected users and devices to enforce access rules. We design different policies for corporate computers, personal devices, guests and other networked equipment, considering compatibility, operational continuity and manageability together.
- Centralized policy design for wired and wireless access
- Evaluating user identity, device profiles and security posture together
- Planning guest access, restricted access and exception processes
Detailed Solution Scope
From your needs to implementation.
We assess the solution alongside your technical environment and operational goals.
Device Discovery and Visibility
We define the inventory and classification scope to make corporate computers, phones, printers, cameras and other connected devices visible. We establish how unknown devices should be handled in line with your policies.
- Assessing device type, connection point and ownership information
- Separating corporate, personal and guest device groups
- Review and exception workflows for devices without an identified profile
Authentication and Access Policies
We design access rules around user roles, device characteristics and connection context. For wired and wireless connections, we assess authentication methods alongside your existing directories, certificates and network infrastructure.
- 802.1X network access and certificate-based authentication scenarios
- Restricted, documented exceptions for devices without support
- Access permissions by department, user group and device type
Device Compliance and Restricted Access
We assess device compliance against organizational security requirements using checks supported by the selected solution. We plan restricted access for non-compliant devices and reassessment after remediation.
- Checking update and security software status on supported endpoints
- Restricted network access for non-compliant devices
- Separate policies for equipment that cannot undergo compliance checks
Guest and Personal Device Access
We design access workflows for visitors, contractors and employees' personal devices around business needs. We separate guest use from the corporate network by defining access duration, approval ownership and available resources.
- Sponsor-approved or time-limited guest access scenarios
- Registration and access requirements for personal devices
- Guest access expiry and log retention policies
Network Segmentation and Security Integrations
We examine the capabilities of switches, wireless networks and security components to enforce access decisions. We assess how to limit user and device groups to the resources they need and share information with existing security tools.
- Assigning network segments or access rules by role and device group
- Reassessing risky device access through supported integrations
- Compatibility with identity sources, endpoint security and incident management
Monitoring, Reporting and Operations
We plan an operating approach that helps teams investigate access decisions and troubleshoot issues. We define responsibilities for policy changes, exceptions and support to make the solution manageable over time.
- Tracking successful and failed access attempts and policy matches
- Reporting and troubleshooting scenarios for operations teams
- Log access, retention periods and protection of sensitive information
Implementation Approach
Let's define the scope together.
Analysis and Design
We review network devices, identity sources and endpoint groups. Together, we define access policies, exceptions, licensing requirements and access behavior during service outages.
Validation and Migration
We first validate policies with a limited group of users and devices. We test authorized access, denial, guest use and service outage scenarios to prepare phased migration and rollback plans.
Operations and Knowledge Transfer
We prepare policy matrices, configuration and troubleshooting documentation within the agreed scope. We plan knowledge transfer, exception reviews and post-deployment support requirements with the operations team.
Product features, licenses, integrations and deliverables are defined by the selected solution and the jointly agreed project scope.
