FAQs

1
.
How does a Secure Architecture Review differ from penetration testing?

Secure Architecture Review

  • Evaluates the design and structure of systems to identify vulnerabilities at the architectural level before implementation.
  • Conducted during the design or planning phase to address potential risks.
  • Provides strategic guidance for creating a secure foundation.

Penetration Testing

  • Simulates real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities in live systems.
  • Focuses on implemented systems to uncover existing flaws.
  • Highlights specific vulnerabilities requiring immediate remediation.
2
.
Can a Secure Architecture Review improve resilience against cyber threats like ransomware or DDoS attacks?

Yes, Secure Architecture Reviews proactively mitigate risks from threats like:

  • Ransomware:
  • Enforces data segmentation to limit malware spread.
  • Implements least-privilege access controls to restrict unauthorized access.
  • Recommends secure backup solutions, such as immutable backups for recovery.
  • DDoS Attacks:
  • Evaluates infrastructure scalability to handle traffic spikes.
  • Ensures mechanisms like rate-limiting and traffic scrubbing are in place.
  • Identifies gaps for improving rapid incident response.

By embedding these safeguards into the architecture, organizations can reduce both the likelihood and impact of such attacks.

.
How does a Secure Architecture Review support digital transformation initiatives?

Secure Architecture Reviews embed security into the design phase, offering benefits for digital transformation:

  • Identifies potential security gaps in current systems when integrating emerging technologies like cloud, IoT, or AI.
  • Suggests scalable, secure solutions that align with long-term business goals.
  • Ensures compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements during the design phase.
    This enables seamless integration of modern technologies while maintaining robust security and operational continuity.
4
.
What resources (time, team, budget) should be allocated for ongoing architectural security?

Key resource considerations include:

  • Time: Initial reviews take 2–4 weeks; periodic reviews (quarterly or post-system changes) are recommended.
  • Team: A blend of internal stakeholders (architects, developers, system administrators) and external cybersecurity experts.
  • Budget: Allocation should focus on business-critical systems and high-risk areas to ensure resilience and compliance with standards.
5
.
Can a Secure Architecture Review help identify legacy systems that pose security risks?

Yes, Secure Architecture Reviews assess legacy systems for compatibility with modern infrastructure by:

  • Identifying outdated protocols, unsupported software, and unpatched vulnerabilities.
  • Highlighting insecure integrations and areas prone to exploitation.
  • Recommending compensating controls to mitigate risks until the systems are modernized or decommissioned.

This ensures that legacy systems are addressed strategically while reducing security exposure.
