Overview

What security advisory and architecture review is for.

Advisory work is most valuable before and after testing. Before, it helps design systems that are easier to secure. After, it turns a set of findings into a plan that fixes causes rather than symptoms.

Engagements are focused and specific. Each one has an agreed question, a defined set of inputs and a deliverable that someone in your organization can act on.

Suited to

  • Designing a new platform, product or major integration
  • Turning assessment and test findings into a realistic roadmap
  • Establishing or improving secure development practice
  • Bringing attack surface ownership and governance under control

Typically in scope

  • Security architecture and design review
  • Threat modeling for systems and features
  • Application security and secure development practice
  • Attack surface governance and ownership
  • Prioritization of findings into a security roadmap

Approach

How the work is done.

The steps every engagement follows, at the level we share publicly.

  1. 01

    Frame the question

    Agree what decision the work should inform, who will use the result and which inputs are available.
  2. 02

    Review and model

    Examine designs, documents and existing findings, and work through likely threats with your team.
  3. 03

    Analyze trade-offs

    Weigh risk, cost and effort so recommendations are realistic for your organization.
  4. 04

    Recommend and plan

    Deliver clear, prioritized recommendations and a plan that fits your capacity.

Deliverables

What you receive.

Deliverables are confirmed in writing during scoping, so you know exactly what to expect before the work begins.

01Architecture review report
Risks, trade-offs and recommended changes for the design under review.
02Threat model
The threats that matter for the system, the controls that address them and the remaining gaps.
03Prioritized roadmap
Improvements ordered by risk reduction and feasibility.
04Working sessions
Time with your architects and engineers to test recommendations against reality.

Questions

What teams ask before scoping.

Do you implement the recommendations?

The focus is analysis and guidance your teams can implement. Follow-up reviews and testing can confirm that changes work as intended.

Can advisory work replace a penetration test?

No. Advisory work improves decisions and design. Testing provides evidence of how systems behave. They work best together.

How is an engagement scoped?

Around a specific question, agreed inputs and a defined deliverable, so the time is spent on what changes a decision.
