Problem

Following the Korean government's Zero Trust guidelines announcement, mid-sized companies (100-300 employees) are evaluating adoption, but security consulting firms charge $22,500-$60,000 for current security posture assessments and roadmap development. Most IT teams don't know where to begin.

Solution

(1) Assess current maturity across 5 levels using a 40-item self-assessment questionnaire based on KISA (Korea Internet & Security Agency) Zero Trust guidelines, (2) auto-generate a 12-month roadmap with industry- and size-specific priority adoption areas (network/identity/data) and budget ranges, and (3) track progress through quarterly re-assessments.

Target: IT team leads/CISOs at mid-sized companies with 100-300 employees, and security consultants
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at ~$59/month per organization (assessment + roadmap + quarterly re-assessment), one-time diagnostic Report at ~$225 Per Transaction
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
