IT Security Architecture
Architecture designed and reviewed with your delivery teams, with security requirements built in from the design stage.
Your project is moving fast and security decisions cannot wait. We design and review the architecture with the teams that build it: trust boundaries, identities, segmentation, cloud, ERP, APIs. Decisions that hold in production, on a fixed fee, with a roadmap your teams can follow.
For you if
- A cloud migration, an ERP program, or a new platform is under way and security has no seat at the design table.
- Your network was designed before cloud, remote work, and API integrations, and tools were added one at a time.
- A breach in one system could move laterally, and nothing in the design would stop it.
- You passed the audit, and you are still unsure the architecture actually protects you.
- Your architects need an experienced peer to challenge and validate the design before it is built.
What you get
- A map of what matters. Trust boundaries, data flows, attack surface, and the design gaps ranked by impact.
- A target architecture your teams can build. Zero Trust, identity and access, segmentation, cloud and hybrid, ERP, APIs, with standards and diagrams.
- A migration path in progressive steps, built on what you already run.
- Decisions made inside delivery. Reviews at the pace of your sprints, so security stops arriving late.
- Validation after the build. The implemented architecture checked against the design, and the knowledge handed to your team.
- Independent advice, with deployment capacity when you need it. Recommendations are based on your context only; when a review calls for application or DDoS protection, we can also deploy it as an authorized Radware partner.
How it works
2 to 4 weeks
Assess
We map the current architecture against your threats and risk tolerance, read the designs and the configurations, and name the design gaps and the quick wins.
3 to 6 weeks
Design
We build the target architecture with your architects, write the standards and diagrams, and sequence the migration into a roadmap your teams can carry.
After the build
Validate
Once built, we verify the result against the design, transfer the knowledge, and leave a governance model for the next architecture decisions.
Engagement types
Three ways to engage, each with a defined scope and a fixed fee. Embedded work follows the program's calendar.
Architecture review
2 to 4 weeks
For the CISO or IT director who needs to know where the design gaps are.
Assessment of the current architecture, prioritized findings, a remediation roadmap.
Target architecture
6 to 12 weeks
For the CTO or VP Transformation building the next platform.
Full design (Zero Trust, cloud migration, ERP, new platform), standards, diagrams, migration roadmap.
Embedded architect
Monthly
For the transformation program that needs security architecture on tap.
A senior architect inside your delivery teams for the program's duration, decisions taken at the pace of your sprints.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about where you stand.
Frequently asked questions
What is a security architecture review?
A review evaluates the design of your environment, infrastructure, applications, identities, data flows, to find the weaknesses in that design an attacker would use. You get findings ranked by business impact and a remediation roadmap your teams can follow.
What is the difference between an audit and an architecture review?
An audit checks compliance against a standard such as ISO 27001 or NIST. A review checks whether the design actually protects you: the right controls in the right places, and the ability to evolve. Passing one does not guarantee the other.
What is Zero Trust, and do we need it?
Zero Trust removes implicit trust from the network: every access is verified against identity, device, and context. It matters as soon as you have remote workers, cloud services, partners, or a hybrid environment. We design it as a progressive path that builds on your current infrastructure.
Do you have ERP and SAP experience?
Yes. InfoSec led security architecture on a large SAP S/4HANA program for seven years, from infrastructure, portals, and APIs to identity and code security, through go-live, without a major incident.
Is your advice independent if you also deploy Radware?
Yes. Every recommendation is based on your context and your needs; the review is done before any product question. When a need for application or DDoS protection is confirmed, deploying it as an authorized Radware partner is an option, never a condition.
How much does an engagement cost?
Reviews and target architectures are scoped after the first conversation and quoted as a fixed fee. Embedded work is monthly, sized to the program. You know the cost before we start.
Do you work with our team or replace it?
With your team. Your architects and engineers stay in charge of the build; we bring the design, challenge it, and transfer what we know so the next decision is theirs. We have coordinated teams of twenty specialists on complex programs.
