Tailscale for business — designed, integrated and managed.

Tailscale is quick to try. We make it production-ready for organisations with 10–500 employees: identities, devices, Grants policies, routing, tests, documentation and ongoing ownership.
Select your starting point
Where does access currently create the most uncertainty?
Start with a situation whose scope, ownership or verification is difficult to manage. We route it to Advice, Integrate or Manage.
Tailscale is already in use
Connectivity works, but the tailnet may still rely on its broad pre-created default policy, without governed groups, tags or complete-policy tests.
Review the technical model →VPN, RDP or SSH needs to be modernised
A public management interface or broad network connection needs to be replaced with resource-specific access.
View administrative access →Vendor access is too broad
A partner needs the connection required for the work, not permanent visibility across the environment.
View vendor access →Control evidence is fragmented
Management, the customer or an auditor needs an understandable chain from decision to enforcement and test.
View controls →Integrate
One risky connection — restricted, tested and documented.
Integrate takes the agreed access model from target architecture to production. Scope, responsibilities and acceptance criteria are agreed before implementation.
Complete when these can be demonstrated
- The resource, users or workloads and approver are named.
- The complete policy, after broad defaults are replaced, allows only the agreed connection.
- Allowed and denied tests match the approved target.
- Rollback, change and removal are documented.
LIVE POLICY TRACE
Access request / prod-web:22
Decision recorded
- 01 IDENTITY group:ops Verified
- 02 DEVICE POSTURE managed Approved
- 03 GRANT tcp:22 Matches
- 04 DECISION ALLOWED prod-web only
A managed device in the ops group receives SSH access only to the prod-web resource under Grants policy. The decision is recorded.
Delivery evidence
See what the customer retains from the delivery.
Technical credibility comes from verifiable artefacts. Each view is an example of the delivery structure, not a fabricated customer reference.
Access allowed
No other access paths are allowed by this policy.
Access-path map
Decision in business language
Who or what may do what, from which device, to which resource.
Grants policyThe same decision as an enforceable rule
The source, posture condition, destination and network capability are visible together.
Acceptance testsThe denied case is also demonstrated
Policy syntax does not replace testing of allowed and denied paths.
Monthly reportMake changes and open decisions visible
Approvals, expiring permissions, exceptions and next actions.
Clear division of responsibilities
Tailscale connects. Defense First makes access governed.
Tailscale is a private connectivity and policy-enforcement layer. A governed outcome emerges when identities, device data, resources, approvals, tests and ongoing change management are combined in one model.

Advice · Integrate · Manage
Three services you can buy. No confusing service catalogue.
The customer can start with a decision, implementation or improving management of an existing tailnet.
Integrate
Take the agreed access model into production, tested, documented and owned by the customer.
Explore IntegrateManage
Keep policies, devices, routes and documentation governed as the environment changes.
Explore ManageFrequently asked questions
Technical and operational boundaries before work starts.
Implementation is designed so the customer understands both the benefits and dependencies of the solution.
Is the current VPN replaced all at once?
Not necessarily. The first access path can be implemented in parallel, tested and accepted before the old connection is removed. The rollback method is documented.
How do existing IdP, MDM, EDR and SIEM systems fit into the whole?
Identity and endpoint security data is produced in their respective systems. Tailscale can use agreed data in access policy, and Defense First makes the responsibility boundaries explicit.
What about devices where Tailscale cannot be installed?
A subnet router can represent resources in a subnet. Devices behind it do not have the same native node identity or posture data, so the boundary is designed separately.
Is Manage a 24/7 monitoring service?
No. Coverage is provided from 08:00 to 17:00 Europe/Helsinki on Finnish business days. P1 initial response is four covered business hours, P2 the next Finnish business day and P3 three Finnish business days. Initial response is not a resolution or availability commitment, and the service does not include SOC/MDR or incident response.
