Deploy this now
Cloudflare Zero Trust is a comprehensive security platform that helps UK public sector organisations protect their resources, applications, data, and users from cyber threats. It replaces traditional perimeter-based security models with identity-based security controls that work anywhere your users are located.
While traditional security approaches rely on VPNs, hardware firewalls, and complex network configurations, Cloudflare Zero Trust provides a cloud-native solution that is faster to deploy, easier to manage, and more secure by default—without compromising user experience.
Start securing your public sector resources with Cloudflare Zero Trust today. Follow these steps to get started:
- Sign up for a Cloudflare account or sign in to your existing account

Cloudflare Zero Trust supports both business and technical users:
-
An intuitive policy builder allows security teams to create and enforce access policies without complex coding or configuration, making it accessible to non-technical administrators.

The comprehensive API ecosystem provides developers with programmatic control over all Zero Trust services, enabling custom integrations and automation workflows.
Simplify security with a single control plane
Cloudflare Zero Trust unifies multiple security capabilities into a single platform, eliminating the need to manage disparate point solutions. The platform includes ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), SWG (Secure Web Gateway), CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), DLP (Data Loss Prevention), and Browser Isolation—all managed through a single dashboard.
Meet UK government security standards with certified services
Cloudflare is Cyber Essentials certified, which means it meets the UK government-backed scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats. Cloudflare Zero Trust aligns with National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidelines for robust identity verification and authorisation, making it suitable for handling sensitive government data while supporting compliance with UK data protection regulations.
Enhance performance while strengthening security
Unlike traditional security solutions that add latency and degrade user experience, Cloudflare Zero Trust is built on a global network with data centers in over 300 cities, including multiple locations across the UK. This architecture ensures that security checks happen close to your users, providing both robust protection and exceptional performance for UK public sector services.
