Secure Architecture & Design

Security built in from the start. Requirements, reviews, and architecture decisions for robust systems.

Secure Architecture & Design ensures that security requirements are incorporated early and systematically into system concepts and design. The team reviews the output of requirements engineering from a security perspective, supports architecture and design decisions, and lays the foundation for secure implementation.

How we help

Typical situations and challenges.

Project kick-off and requirements

"Which security requirements must be clarified and agreed before architecture and implementation?"

Architecture and design decisions

"Which architecture option is secure, and which security trade-offs do we consciously accept?"

Interfaces and protocols

"How do we design interfaces, protocols, and integrations to be robust and low-risk?"

Handover to development and operations

"Which technical security requirements must development and operations implement, and how do we verify this consistently?"

What we do

Tangible services and outcomes.

Review security-relevant requirements and approve them before architecture and implementation decisions.

Support and assess architecture and design decisions with a security focus.

Derive and refine technical security requirements for development and operations.

Conduct architecture and concept reviews and document security risks in a traceable way.

Capture security decisions and reusable patterns consistently so they can be applied across projects.

Define reusable architecture building blocks and security patterns and provide them as decision support.
