Security Architecture Review

Your security program is only as effective as its foundation. A comprehensive third-party security architecture review evaluates your organization’s existing capabilities and security controls to ensure they align with your objectives.

Understand the Risk of Your Cybersecurity Infrastructure

A Security Architecture Review (SAR) evaluates your organization’s security capabilities to ensure that your deployed technologies align with relevant compliance requirements and industry standards.

Our team of experts provides detailed assessments of your current security infrastructure, offering tailored recommendations to optimize your existing solutions. Additionally, we provide guidance on implementing new controls to enhance and mature your organization’s security practices.

With our SAR, you gain a clear understanding of the risks within your cybersecurity infrastructure and a roadmap to address gaps, bolster defenses, and ensure compliance.

See How Your Security Architecture Stacks Up

The results of our Security Architecture Review deliver a comprehensive report detailing your organization’s security infrastructure and capabilities. Our assessment evaluates your cybersecurity foundation against industry standards like the MITRE ATT&CK framework and NIST CSF.

We provide:

  • Insights into the techniques used to assess your organization’s cybersecurity capabilities.
  • A breakdown of what was tested, the complexity of recommended improvements, and the cost to address findings.

In addition to evaluating your security technology integrations, we test your processes and personnel through targeted exercises, equipping your team with actionable insights to strengthen your security posture.

Put Your Security Controls to the Test

We use Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) technology to put your security controls through real-world tests, simulating how threat actors would target and exploit your network. Unlike a traditional paperwork review of security controls, which only assesses intentions, our approach validates that your security measures are properly implemented and remain effective after audits.

Our team of experts specializes in identifying gaps in your security technologies by simulating the same attack methods used by threat actors, ensuring your defenses hold up in real-world scenarios.

Evaluate the Effectiveness of Your Cybersecurity Tools

Would your SOC or managed security service be able to identify a specific attack? Would your security technology protect you from a newly discovered vulnerability? We offer our Security Architecture Review (SAR) as a managed service, allowing you to run monthly reviews based on your requirements, or on-demand support tailored to your needs. This ensures you’re always prepared to answer critical questions from executives and the Board of Directors.

With cyberattacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, it’s vital to assess the effectiveness of your cybersecurity tools. Our SAR service helps ensure that your tools and processes are up to the challenge, providing valuable insights into any gaps in your defenses and allowing you to proactively address potential risks.

Maximize the Effectiveness of Your SIEM

You’ve invested in top-tier cybersecurity tools, integrated them seamlessly, and built a robust capability. But is your SIEM truly working as effectively as it should? Don’t let your investments go underutilized! A Security Architecture Review (SAR) can provide the insight you need to understand whether your SIEM is properly tuned to support your analysts in identifying threats efficiently.

Our team of data analytics professionals will conduct a thorough SAR to identify potential issues within your SIEM, such as ineffective correlation rules or excessive noise that obscures critical signals. The results of the SAR will help your team uncover weaknesses in your SIEM implementation, enabling you to optimize it for more accurate and actionable threat detection. This ensures that your SIEM performs at its best, empowering your team to focus on what matters most—stopping the next threat before it compromises your organization.

When Is a Cybersecurity Architecture Review Necessary?

A Cybersecurity Architecture Review (SAR) helps pinpoint areas of improvement in your organization’s security infrastructure. By analyzing data from your configurations, diagrams created by your cybersecurity architects, and other controls, we provide an up-to-date evaluation of your organization’s security posture and deliver tailored recommendations based on industry best practices.

Conducting a SAR is essential for identifying pervasive security issues within your environment. It is especially valuable for organizations aiming to maximize their security-related return on investment (ROI). These assessments evaluate your current security deployments and their alignment with your security requirements. Following a comprehensive review, we provide a roadmap to address any deficiencies and enhance your security setup.

Consider a Cybersecurity Architecture Review if your organization is experiencing or facing any of the following:

  • Past security breaches or compromises
  • Upcoming network expansions or redesigns
  • Organizational growth that exceeds current network capacity
  • Increased demand for data and insights from your network environment
  • Potential vulnerabilities in network infrastructure
  • Contractual security obligations with clients or partners
  • Mergers, acquisitions, or other significant organizational changes
  • Recent changes to network configurations or infrastructure
  • Recent upgrades to your network environment
