Security Architecture Review
Embedding Security as a Foundational Principle

Independent, risk-based evaluation of technology architecture to determine whether security is effectively embedded across systems, platforms, and data flows—aligned with business objectives, regulatory obligations, and enterprise risk appetite.

Why Security Architecture Review

Security Must Be Designed, Not Bolted On

Traditional security approaches often treat controls as afterthoughts, leading to fragmented protection, operational friction, and hidden vulnerabilities. The iGlobus Security Architecture Review (SAR) provides an independent, risk-based evaluation to ensure security is embedded as a foundational design principle across your technology landscape.

Our engagement evaluates trust boundaries, integration patterns, identity models, and control placement across applications, infrastructure, cloud environments, networks, and data ecosystems. We benchmark against ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and Zero Trust Architecture principles—delivering a prioritized roadmap for strategic security transformation.

Security architecture is the blueprint that determines whether controls can be consistently enforced, scaled, and adapted to evolving threats. A flawed architecture cannot be fixed by adding more point solutions.

SAR Assessment Dimensions

Our review spans the critical layers of modern technology architecture:

Trust Boundaries & Segmentation
Network micro-segmentation, workload isolation, data flow integrity
Identity & Access Models
Privileged access, identity federation, just-in-time access
Cloud & Hybrid Architecture
Multi-cloud security, container security, IaaS/PaaS configurations
Application Security Design
API security, secure coding patterns, DevSecOps integration
Data Protection Architecture
Encryption strategies, data lifecycle controls, DLP integration
Our Methodology

Structured Security Architecture Review Process

A systematic, risk-driven approach to evaluate and strengthen your security architecture.

Architecture Discovery & Scoping

Define review scope, identify critical systems, data flows, and trust boundaries across hybrid environments.

  • Asset & data flow mapping
  • Architecture documentation review
  • Stakeholder interviews

Control Assessment & Benchmarking

Evaluate security controls against ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and Zero Trust principles.

  • Identity & access controls
  • Network security architecture
  • Cloud security posture

Risk & Gap Analysis

Identify architectural weaknesses, design flaws, and control gaps with business impact assessment.

  • Systemic vulnerability identification
  • Attack path analysis
  • Risk prioritization

Target-State Architecture Definition

Define future-state architecture aligned with Zero Trust, identity-centric security, and business strategy.

  • Zero Trust reference architecture
  • Identity fabric design
  • Micro-segmentation strategy

Phased Remediation Roadmap

Develop actionable roadmap with immediate, near-term, and strategic initiatives.

  • Executive summary & business case
  • Prioritized implementation plan
  • Resource & dependency mapping

Continuous Improvement Framework

Establish governance for ongoing architecture reviews and security transformation.

  • Architecture review cadence
  • DevSecOps integration
  • Security champions program

Security Architecture Review FAQs

Essential answers about security architecture assessment and transformation.

A penetration test identifies exploitable vulnerabilities in deployed systems. A Security Architecture Review evaluates the foundational design—trust boundaries, identity models, control placement, and integration patterns—to determine whether security is properly embedded. While penetration testing finds holes in the fence, architecture review ensures the fence is designed correctly. Both are complementary, but architecture flaws cannot be fixed by patching individual vulnerabilities.

We benchmark against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Annex A controls), NIST Cybersecurity Framework (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), and leading architectural paradigms including Zero Trust Architecture (NIST SP 800-207), SABSA, and cloud security best practices (CIS Benchmarks, CSA CCM). Our assessments are tailored to your industry and regulatory context.

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a security model based on "never trust, always verify"—eliminating implicit trust based on network location. Our SAR assesses readiness across seven pillars: identity, devices, networks, applications, data, visibility & analytics, and automation & orchestration. We evaluate current state against NIST SP 800-207 and provide a maturity roadmap for progressive Zero Trust adoption.

Timeline depends on scope and environment complexity. Typical engagements range from 4-8 weeks, including discovery (1-2 weeks), assessment & analysis (2-3 weeks), and roadmap development (1-2 weeks). We can tailor the engagement to focus on specific domains (cloud, applications, identity) for accelerated timelines.

Key deliverables include: (1) Executive Summary with strategic insights and business case, (2) Detailed Architecture Assessment Report with findings, risk ratings, and control gaps, (3) Target-State Architecture Definition, (4) Phased Remediation Roadmap with immediate, near-term, and strategic initiatives, and (5) Architecture Governance Framework for ongoing maturity improvement.
