Provide security architecture guidance and reusable standards so product teams can design solutions that meet security requirements without re-litigating decisions for every project.

Security architecture and standards help the business scale security by making secure-by-default design the easiest path for delivery teams.

Outcomes

  • Faster delivery through pre-approved security patterns
  • Reduced architectural risk and fewer late-stage security surprises
  • Consistent controls across services and environments
  • Clear exception handling with compensating controls

Typical scope

  • Reference architectures (cloud, SaaS integration, OT/ICS where relevant)
  • Security patterns (identity, secrets, encryption, segmentation)
  • Technology standards and approved products/services
  • Architectural review and exception management

GenAI-enabled execution

Agents can draft architecture review summaries and compare proposed designs to approved patterns, highlighting gaps and required approvals—guardrailed by explicit standards, decision records, and human sign-off.
