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.

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.
Collect architecture diagrams, inventories, deployment details, and data flow documentation. Understand system interactions and environment topologies to form a complete view of the infrastructure.
Conduct sessions with architects, developers, and administrators to validate assumptions, review security decisions, and understand operational realities.
Analyze the architecture to identify systemic weaknesses, such as weak segmentation, insecure data flows, or insufficient redundancy. Validate risks collaboratively with the engineering team.
Deliver a structured report including executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized findings, business impact, and remediation guidance. Present conclusions and recommendations in a restitution meeting.
Review implemented improvements and verify that previously identified architectural risks have been effectively mitigated.
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.
