What Is Security Architecture?
Security architecture is the unified design of security controls, solutions, and strategies that protect an organization's information systems, digital assets, and data. It provides a structured approach to implementing security measures across all layers of technology infrastructure.
A robust security architecture aligns with business objectives while establishing multiple layers of protection against cyber threats. It defines how security controls are positioned and how they relate to the overall IT architecture.
Our security architecture services help organizations design, implement, and maintain comprehensive security frameworks that protect against current and emerging threats while supporting business agility and growth.
Key Security Architecture Principles
Defense in Depth
Multiple layers of security controls throughout the infrastructure to protect critical assets.
Least Privilege
Users and systems are granted the minimum levels of access necessary to perform their functions.
Segregation of Duties
Critical tasks are divided among multiple individuals to prevent fraud and errors.
Data Protection by Design
Security measures built into systems from the start, not added as an afterthought.
