Security Architecture Review
Design-level review of system architecture before it’s built, when fixing a flaw is still cheap.

In plain terms Review
What this is
Design-level review of system architecture before it’s built, when fixing a flaw is still cheap.
Why it can hurt you
A security flaw baked into the architecture costs 100x more to fix after launch than it does on the whiteboard.

Why it matters to you Review
The problem
A security flaw baked into the architecture costs 100x more to fix after launch than it does on the whiteboard.
Cheapest possible fix point
Design-stage fixes cost a fraction of post-launch remediation.
Fewer late-stage surprises
Security baked in before the pen test, not discovered by it.
Guidance & support
How we do it Review
Trust boundary mapping
Every data flow and trust boundary in the proposed architecture identified.
Threat modeling
STRIDE or equivalent methodology applied to the design before a line of code is written.
Control recommendation
Specific architectural controls recommended, not generic best-practice lists.
Guidance & support
What we typically find Review
Missing trust boundaries
Components trusting input from zones that should be treated as hostile.
Single points of failure
Architecture with no redundancy for security-critical components.
The team you would have hired.
Senior judgement on tap: strategy, board reporting, and someone to call at 2am.

A scoping call is thirty minutes, costs nothing, and ends with a fixed price and a date. If we are not the right people for the job, we will tell you that too.
