Overview
A secure architecture is the foundation of a resilient system. Even with hardened components, weaknesses in network layout, trust boundaries, or data flows can allow attackers to pivot and reach critical assets.
Our Architecture Review delivers a documentation- and workshop-driven analysis of your topology, segmentation, authentication flows, data protection, and resilience controls. It highlights systemic design risks early, before they manifest as incidents, providing a clear roadmap for architectural hardening and risk reduction.
Architecture
Scope & Asset Identification
Review system components, interconnections, and data flows across environments.
Threat Modeling
Identify critical assets, trust boundaries, and potential attack paths.
Network & Segmentation Review
Assess network isolation, administrative exposure, and lateral movement resistance.
Authentication & Authorization Flows
Evaluate identity management, privilege enforcement, and session handling.
Data Protection & Encryption
Verify secure data storage, encryption in transit, and key management.
Monitoring & Logging Architecture
Assess log visibility, integrity, and detection coverage across systems.
Resilience & Redundancy
Review backup, failover, and disaster recovery strategies.
Technology Stack & Integration
Analyze system dependencies, inter-service communications, and integration security.
What you will get
Deliverables that keep every stakeholder aligned
We deliver more than raw findings: you receive a complete package that leadership, engineers, and auditors can all act on immediately.
Reporting package
Evidence-rich documentation for executives and technical teams.
Executive summary that explains business impact, key risks, and the
narrative behind the assessment.
Vulnerability summary with grouped issues, risk owners, severity,
and time-to-fix guidance.
Technical analysis that includes screenshots, observations, attack
flow notes, and proof-of-exploitation where appropriate.
Metrics & scoring covering CVSS, likelihood/impact rationales,
and remediation priority to unblock quick decisions.
Remediation toolkit
Clear next steps, mapped to the people fixing the issues.
Excel remediation tracker that consolidates every vulnerability with
owners, status, due dates, and comments so progress is easy to measure.
Prioritized backlog with quick wins, blocked items, and prerequisites
highlighted to reduce remediation friction.
Restitution meeting to walk through findings live, align on
fixes, and answer engineer questions while the context is fresh.
Optional retest to validate patches and refresh CVSS scores so the
final report reflects your latest posture.
Where this service excels
Recent scenarios our team solved
Real-world stories that mirror the way customers deploy, defend, and recover.
SaaS
Multi-tenant isolation gaps
Mapped shared services that mixed customer metadata and logging streams.
Outcome
Separated control planes, added tenant-aware encryption keys, and formalized data residency controls.
Gaming
Real-time feature flags without guardrails
Found deployment paths that let experiments bypass change management.
Outcome
Implemented approvals on sensitive toggles, audit trails, and blast-radius scoring before rollout.
Healthcare
Inconsistent zero trust patterns
Identified microservices still trusting network location instead of workload identity.
Outcome
Standardized service identity, mutual TLS, and policy-as-code baselines across clusters.
Testing Methodology
1
Scoping & Kick-off
Define project objectives, scope, and constraints. Identify architecture layers, environments, and documentation sources. Align expectations and coordinate with technical stakeholders during the initial kick-off meeting.
2
Information Gathering
Collect architecture diagrams, inventories, deployment details, and data flow documentation. Understand system interactions and environment topologies to form a complete view of the infrastructure.
3
Workshops
Conduct sessions with architects, developers, and administrators to validate assumptions, review security decisions, and understand operational realities.
4
Analysis & Validation
Analyze the architecture to identify systemic weaknesses, such as weak segmentation, insecure data flows, or insufficient redundancy. Validate risks collaboratively with the engineering team.
5
Reporting & Debrief
Deliver a structured report including executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized findings, business impact, and remediation guidance. Present conclusions and recommendations in a restitution meeting.
6
Retest (Optional)
Review implemented improvements and verify that previously identified architectural risks have been effectively mitigated.
FAQ
An Architecture Review typically takes 5 to 10 business days, depending on the complexity of the system and the availability of up-to-date documentation.
Even perfectly coded systems can remain insecure if the architecture itself contains flaws. Weak segmentation, misaligned authentication flows, or exposed integrations often create critical attack paths. This review identifies and validates these design weaknesses, ensuring a secure foundation for your applications and infrastructure.
The architecture audit focuses on design choices, component interactions, and structural risks, while the configuration audit evaluates actual technical parameters, settings, and deployed controls.
The review checks consistency between documented and deployed architectures, clarity of inter-component communication, justification of technology stack choices, and identification of single points of failure or weak dependencies.
