A typical DESSS Passwordless and FIDO2 delivery runs 6 steps, with the final step reached around ongoing. Complex integrations, multi-entity scope, or regulated environments extend that — the discovery session produces a dated plan for your case rather than an average.
Every step closes with named deliverables — Access review campaigns, Blocking policy, Break-glass procedure, Enforcement log, Exclusion register, Helpdesk briefing, Identity inventory, Legacy auth report — so progress is visible, auditable, and reviewable rather than a status colour on a slide.
