Security Architecture

You wouldn’t build a house without the help of an architect, to plan where to place the windows, where to lay the wires and pipes, and ensuring your bathroom doesn’t get built in the kitchen.

The same thinking applies when it comes to building systems to ensure security is not an after thought.

Create common blueprints with integrated security principles to speed up the business.

Security Included Approach

When building anything, having a blueprint that embeds security principles from the outset avoids technical debt and costly redesigns. Think of it as the batteries included approach, only replacing the word batteries for security.

Whether you’re cloud-native, hybrid, or on-prem, we align the security controls included in your security architecture with your business objectives, compliance requirements, and risk appetite, ensuring you stay protected as you grow.

Defence in Depth

Defence in depth or what is sometimes referred to as the “Swiss Cheese Model”, adds security controls at every layer to enable multiple chances at detection, prevention and mitigation.

By adopting a layered approach, we create overlapping defenses that minimise the likelihood of a cyber attack being successful even if a single layer fails, or at least limiting the blast radius in the event of an incident.

Reuseable Repeatable Patterns

By standardising groups of components into pre-approved, reusable architectural design patterns, organisations can ensure that security controls are embedded by default. This helps simplify implementation, reduce risk, and accelerates delivery.

Like using a cookie cutter to shape every batch consistently (especially if you’re following grandma’s trusted recipe), this approach ensures designs are secure and repeatable, without starting from scratch each time.

Your Security Architecture consultation covers:

  • Review of design principles against security best practice
  • Analysis of compliance and regulatory framework alignment
  • Recommendations for common security controls
  • Suggestions for cloud, on-prem or hybrid environments
  • Development of patterns to help speed delivery
  • Formation of security architectural blueprints from patterns
  • Championing early engagement to reduce technical debt
