Security Architecture

Security Architecture/Secure by Design

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) defines security architecture as:

The practice of designing computer systems to achieve security goals. For the majority, these security goals are to:

  • Make initial compromise of the system difficult
  • Limit the impact of any compromise
  • Make disruption of the system difficult
  • Make detection of a compromise easy

An attacker can attempt to subvert technology, people, and processes to undermine security, so security architecture must consider all the technology, people and processes relating to a computer system.

AMSA InfoSec consultants are experienced in the use of security architecture approaches including The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), and Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture (SABSA).

Our Security Architects are qualified under the NCSC Certified Cyber Professional Scheme assured service, thereby providing clients peace of mind on our subject matter expertise.
