Evaluate the security of your architecture at the design level — identifying weaknesses in network segmentation, access control models, encryption strategies, and cloud configurations before they become exploitable vulnerabilities.
A Security Architecture Review examines the foundational design of your IT environment — network topology, application architecture, cloud deployments, identity management, encryption, and data flows — to identify systemic security weaknesses that vulnerability scans and penetration tests can't find.
Vulnerability scans find known software flaws. Penetration tests exploit specific weaknesses. But neither evaluates whether your architecture itself is fundamentally sound — whether your network segmentation actually isolates critical systems, whether your encryption strategy protects data at every state, or whether your cloud configuration follows the principle of least privilege.
A Security Architecture Review examines these design-level decisions. It's the difference between checking whether your door lock works and evaluating whether the building's blueprint has a back door. We assess your architecture against industry frameworks, threat models, and established security design principles to identify systemic risks.
Evaluate your network topology, segmentation strategy, firewall architecture, VPN design, and DMZ configuration — identifying design weaknesses that could allow lateral movement or unauthorized access.
Assess your cloud deployment architecture — VPC design, IAM policies, security group configurations, encryption, logging, and shared responsibility model implementation across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Evaluate your application design — microservices architecture, API security, authentication/authorization flows, session management, data handling, and integration security patterns.
Assess your identity and access management design — directory services, SSO/federation, MFA strategy, RBAC/ABAC models, service account management, and privileged access architecture.
Evaluate how your architecture protects data across all states — encryption at rest, in transit, and in use; key management; tokenization; data classification; and DLP architecture.
Systematic threat identification for your architecture using STRIDE, PASTA, or other methodologies — identifying attack vectors, trust boundaries, and high-risk components that require additional controls.
Identify systemic security weaknesses that vulnerability scans and penetration tests can't detect — flaws in architecture, not just implementation.
Address architectural weaknesses before they're exploited — when changes are still design decisions, not emergency remediation projects.
Architecture reviews directly support PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other frameworks that require secure system design and network segmentation validation.
Evaluate the security architecture of acquisition targets before deal closure — identifying technical debt and security risks that affect valuation and integration planning.
Ensure your cloud migration architecture is secure by design — before you move production workloads into a new environment.
Assess the security architecture of critical vendors and service providers — validating that their design meets your security requirements.
Our reviewers are practicing security architects who design secure systems — not just auditors checking boxes. We evaluate architectural decisions, not just configurations.
We review architectures across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments — understanding the security services, design patterns, and common pitfalls of each platform.
Every finding comes with specific, implementable architectural recommendations — not generic advice like 'improve segmentation,' but concrete design changes with rationale.
