At-A-Glance
Preserving Trust, Provenance & Traceability for Zero Trust
Zero Trust is a data problem. NIST SP 800-207 and the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model ask agencies to verify every user, device, and request continuously — possible only when the relationships among identities, assets, permissions, systems, and activity are connected and governed in one place. Arango models that environment as one governed knowledge graph.
Agencies can enforce least privilege, detect anomalies, and keep every output traceable to source, turning Zero Trust from a policy document into an operational, auditable capability built into the data layer itself.
Zero Trust is a data problem. The graph shows the access path that shouldn’t exist.
The Arango role in Zero Trust:
Preserve Trust
Prove Provenance
Trace Every Answer
Mapping to the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model
Platform capabilities map to the five pillars of the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, plus continuous verification.
Identity
Resolve fragmented identifiers into one authoritative entity per person or account, then enforce role- and attribute-based access control.
Devices
Model device-to-account-to-activity relationships to flag unmanaged or unexpected devices before they reach sensitive systems.
Applications & Data
Enforce field-level authorization in the engine itself, backed by governed lineage and citations for every output.
Visibility & Analytics
Run graph analytics to detect anomalies, lateral movement, and outlier access paths that siloed logs never connect.
Governance
Express policy as data on the graph, backed by immutable audit and explainable query plans for every action.
Continuous Verification
Support NIST SP 800-207 continuous verification of every user, device, and request against the current governed graph.

The Arango Role in Zero Trust
Trust is not a feature bolted on top — it’s a property of the data foundation itself. Four capabilities make Arango-grounded analytics and AI defensible in a Zero Trust environment.
Preserve Trust
Least-privilege access is enforced in the engine — RBAC/ABAC at document, edge, and field level.
Prove Provenance
Lineage is captured at write and query time, so every output traces to source records.
Trace Every Answer
Explainable query plans, citations, and immutable audit logs support continuous monitoring.
From one governed graph to a defensible answer
Knowledge Graphs Surface the Risk a List Search Cannot See
Platform Context
Zero Trust runs on the same governed graph as Intelligence Analysis and Supply Chain Risk Management. Users, assets, organizations, systems, permissions, and events are modeled as native relationships in one engine, with graph, vector, geospatial, and machine learning running against the same governed data — no bolt-on stores to sync, so anomaly findings stay consistent and explainable across every mission use case.
Operational Impact
A watchlist tells you who is on it; Arango’s knowledge graph tells you who is one relationship away — surfacing transitive risk and hidden access paths for insider-threat and fraud analysis.
