Zscaler deployment services
A repeatable commercial deployment motion for Zscaler partners
SecureDynamics gives partners a practical way to launch Zscaler customers with ZTSM guidance, training during deployment, Aiden-powered visibility, close-out health validation, and first-year ZBoost adoption support.
Delivery sequence
The commercial motion is structured enough to repeat and flexible enough to fit the customer
The customer sees a coherent journey. The partner sees a services motion they can attach and forecast. SecureDynamics handles the delivery discipline behind both views.
Qualify the fit
Confirm scope, licensed products, customer expectations, access dependencies, and whether SDYN-DEP-ADV is the right default path.
Launch with structure
Hold kickoff, assign owners, establish reporting views, and turn working-session output into tracked next steps through Aiden.
Deploy and teach
Design, configure, pilot, validate, roll out, and train the customer while the environment is becoming real.
Canonical milestones
Milestone anchors the customer, partner, and ZTSM can reference consistently
These labels are used as section anchors so customer communications, Aiden reporting, and internal delivery notes stay aligned.
Kickoff
Customer kickoff held
The delivery team, customer, partner, and ZTSM align on scope, communication channels, required access, success criteria, and the first working sessions.
Pre-Kickoff
Admin access confirmed
Tenant activation, customer-owned IdP work, Zscaler admin access, and initial group assumptions are confirmed before deeper configuration begins.
Phase 1
Policy baseline drafted
SecureDynamics drafts the initial policy baseline from the agreed design, licensed products, identity model, forwarding approach, and Zscaler recommended practices.
Phase 2
Pilot users onboarded
A limited set of users is enabled to validate authentication, forwarding, private access, inspection behavior, and the practical user experience before broader rollout.
Phase 2
Validation complete
Pilot feedback, application reachability, policy behavior, and known exceptions are reviewed so the rollout path is based on observed behavior instead of assumptions.
Phase 3
Production rollout started
User groups, applications, and production traffic move forward in controlled waves, with Aiden tracking owners, dates, blockers, and next steps between sessions.
Throughout deployment
Training delivered
Customer enablement happens while the environment is being deployed, supported by SecureDynamics training, Learn Zscaler GPT, and deployment-specific references.
Closeout
Close-out health check completed
SecureDynamics validates delivery health, open risks, handoff readiness, and practical next actions before the active deployment engagement formally concludes.
Closed
Handoff complete
The customer has the support path, final documentation expectations, known assumptions, and post-deployment guidance needed to operate with confidence.
Closed
ZBoost adoption active
First-year ZBoost keeps adoption moving after delivery with health checks, optimization guidance, escalation support, and renewal-confidence evidence.
Meet Aiden
Aiden (Ai-den) keeps every phase moving.
Aiden is our always-on virtual project manager across the deployment methodology. In Full deployment motion, Aiden stays part of the workflow and communication layer, tracking Gantt charts, individual and team action items, customer updates, blockers, and value milestones.
