Security Architect

Security architecture reviews the underlying design of a system before an attacker exposes its flaws in production. This service builds threat models for new and existing systems, maps trust boundaries and data flows, and designs defense-in-depth controls so a single failure doesn't cascade into a breach. It's for teams shipping a new product, entering a regulated market, or realizing after the fact that "we'll add security later" already happened. The output isn't a slide deck of best practices — it's an architecture that's been pressure-tested against realistic attack paths, with a prioritized list of what to fix first.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan — not a black box

  1. 1

    Diagnose the system architecture and data flows to build a threat model against realistic adversaries and abuse cases.

  2. 2

    Pilot the proposed controls on the single highest-risk trust boundary before touching the rest of the system.

  3. 3

    Review the threat model and control priorities with engineering leadership to align on what ships now versus later.

  4. 4

    Document the hardened architecture and defense-in-depth controls so the team can build against it going forward.
