Overview
Security that is bolted on late is expensive and fragile. Good architecture builds protection, visibility and resilience into systems from the start, and makes sure every component earns its place.
We design security and IT architectures that answer your actual requirements, fit your existing environment and can be implemented and operated by real teams.
What you get
- Architecture decisions documented, justified and traceable to your requirements
- Designs that fit your existing environment and budget
- Vendor-neutral evaluation where you haven't chosen a product yet
- Designs your teams or any integrator can implement with confidence
What we cover
- Zero Trust and identity-centric architecture
- Network segmentation and secure data center design
- Security operations center (SOC), SIEM and XDR architecture
- Secure cloud and hybrid architecture
- Secure remote access
- High availability and disaster recovery design
How we work
-
Requirements
We gather business, security, regulatory and operational requirements, and document constraints.
-
Current-state review
We review your existing architecture, integrations and pain points.
-
Options and evaluation
We compare design options and, where needed, products against weighted criteria.
-
High-level design
We produce the high-level design (HLD) and review it with your stakeholders.
-
Low-level design
We detail configurations, sizing, integrations and migration steps in the low-level design (LLD).
-
Design assurance
We review the implementation against the design, whether we build it or another integrator does.
Deliverables
- Requirements and design principles document
- Options analysis and product evaluation (when applicable)
- High-level design (HLD)
- Low-level design (LLD) with sizing and bill of materials
- Implementation and migration plan
Questions buyers ask
Can you design a solution we'll implement ourselves or with another company?
Yes. Our designs are written so any competent team can implement them, and we can provide design assurance during the build.
Do you only design with your partners' products?
No. Where a product choice is still open, we evaluate options against your criteria and document why a recommendation was made.
