Design Poise covers the security architecture stack — defense-in-depth, IAM, network, cloud, and application security — with threat modelling done before architecture and architecture documented before implementation, with senior security architects on the work.
Defense-in-depth design, zero-trust patterns, SASE adoption, and reference architectures — with threat modelling done before the diagram is drawn, not as an afterthought.
IAM design, federation (OAuth, SAML, OIDC), privileged access management, MFA strategy, and identity governance — the layer that determines whether the rest of the security architecture matters.
Network segmentation, micro-segmentation, NAC, secure SD-WAN, and east-west traffic controls — designed for the workloads and the trust model, not just the perimeter.
AWS, Azure, and GCP security architecture — landing zones, guardrails, IAM boundaries, encryption strategy, and CSPM — designed for the cloud operating model, not lifted from the data centre playbook.
Secure SDLC, application threat modeling (STRIDE, PASTA), secrets management, and secure-by-default patterns — security designed into the application, not added after the pen test.
Four phases that take a security architecture engagement from threat modelling through design and implementation to validation against the original threat model — with senior architects on the work and validation tied to design decisions, not just to scan output.
Threat modelling done against the system in question — STRIDE, attack trees, or PASTA depending on system type. Threats and controls documented before architecture is drawn.
Security architecture designed across identity, network, cloud, and application layers — reference patterns documented, trade-offs called out, and the architecture reviewed before implementation begins.
Architecture implemented with senior practitioners on the work — IAM configured, segmentation deployed, cloud guardrails set, application security controls integrated.
Architecture validated against threat model — pen test, red team, or architecture review depending on system criticality. Findings tied to architecture decisions, not just to surface vulnerabilities.
