What is a Security Architecture Review?

The Security Architecture Review will comprehensively review the applications, network, servers and services within an organization's environment and identify methods to enhance and improve on the system infrastructure and support. This includes both future and existing infrastructure.Security Architecture review often goes hand in hand with Technical Security Assessment, Information Security Policy Development and Host Hardening Services.

The Problem

Many organizations today are focused in implementing network architecture based upon business urgency rather than security. Architecture design flaws are almost awakening for many organisations today. In addition a delusion of security is achieved through state-of-art technology does not help many organisations to prevent such flaws.Security must be a multi-layered approach (often referred to as the 'Onion Model') and the BRIP Security Architecture Review ensures that all the layers gel together well to form a strong security posture for your organization.

The BRIP Solution

The Architecture Review and Design focuses on a set of structured workshops, which cooperatively perform the following with customer staff and the project team.
An Asset Inventory comprises an examination of the systems and related risks and threats from within and outside the organization.
A review of the Business areas supported by the infrastructure to better understand the asset risk and required controls.

Planned seminars to ensure all parties understand the intent, methods, justification and their role in the project.
A technical review of the Architecture to ensure it is capable and sufficient to meet the business needs. Including operations and security management. A detailed review of the network component functions to ensure suitability.
Development of detailed recommendations, migration plans and documentation to assist organisations in the growth and support plans of the infrastructure.
