Architecture Security Assessment

UNCOVER SYSTEMIC SECURITY ISSUES IN YOUR APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTS.

Our Architecture Security Assessment is a non-disruptive review of the application architecture to uncover systemic security issues within your app environment. An Architecture Security Assessment can help you maximize your return on security technology investments, in addition to validating the security of your existing applications. Our methodology follows the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), as well as any specific organizational regulatory requirements you need to meet (e.g., PCI-DSS, NIST, or HIPAA).

Architecture Security Assessment highlights:

  • Broad and deep analysis: We conduct a thirteen-point methodology covering the full spectrum of an application's security architecture including authentication, access control, input and output, cryptographic components, error logging and auditing, data protection and privacy, communication, malicious software, business logic, secure file upload, and configuration.
  • Flexible assessment types: We extend our thirteen-point methodology to address the security of interconnected devices including e-commerce web applications, IoT devices, physical products, or other unique situations.
  • Actionable Findings: We take the time to ensure technical and business stakeholders understand engagement findings with prescriptive guidance that ultimately helps you harden defenses and extract greater value from existing security investments.

Address Your Unique Challenges

We take the time to understand the current state of security and future objectives. Collecting evidence, conducting in-depth interviews, and analyzing essential documentation, our experts dig deep into your application’s security architecture and interconnected systems giving you a complete picture of risk across your unique environment.

Identify Systemic Vulnerabilities

Conducting an ASA can uncover the root cause of vulnerabilities before attackers do. Because we inspect every facet of an application's security and underlying infrastructure – you can proactively address gaps in controls and systemic risks before attackers even know they exist.

Realize the Full Potential of Investments

Most security controls fail to reach their adversary stopping potential. Rather than adding more complexity to your environment, our ASA helps you do more with less, identifying opportunities to enhance the efficacy of security controls that can improve resiliency with little to no resource drain.
