Security architecture & consulting
Design security in, instead of testing it in later.
Threat modelling, secure design reviews and security architecture for new systems and major changes.
Why teams call us
Problems this solves
-
01
Security found too late
Issues discovered in a pre-launch test are expensive to fix in the design.
-
02
Identity and access grew by accident
Too many admins, shared accounts and inconsistent permissions.
-
03
No agreed security standard
Every team makes its own decisions about encryption, logging and secrets.
-
04
A big change is planned
A migration, merger or new product line changes your risk.
Our approach
Security architecture is the set of decisions about how a system protects its data and who can do what. We help make those decisions early: threat modelling a new design, reviewing architecture before it is built, and defining standards for identity, encryption, logging and secrets that every team can follow.
The output is practical: diagrams, decisions and requirements your engineers can implement, not a theoretical framework.
What is included
-
Threat modelling
What could go wrong in a design, ranked by likelihood and impact.
-
Secure design review
Architecture reviewed before build, with specific changes.
-
Identity and access design
Roles, SSO, MFA and least-privilege patterns.
-
Zero-trust patterns
Access decided per request rather than per network location.
-
Data protection design
Encryption, key management and data minimisation.
-
Security standards
Short, enforceable standards for development teams.

Threats identified and ranked with your team.
-
03
Design
Controls and architecture decisions documented.
-
04
Support the build
Reviews during implementation and a final check.
