We help you build or assess the architecture and the design of your web application stack to ensure resilience and security
At Nexta Security we understand that each organization has unique security challenges and requirements. Our cybersecurity solutions are customized to align with your business.
What is a Security Architecture Review
Our application security architecture reviews assess the security posture and the security controls of the architecture of your web application stack to identify flaws and weaknesses. Our methodology leverage application security industry standards and our combined decades of expertise.
The outcome of this effort is a detailed report outlining findings and actionable recommendations to strengthen your application stack and reduce risk.
How we conduct a Security Architecture Review
Once we understand the application’s business context, risk profile, and data classification, we begin deconstructing the application into its core components and assessing key security controls, such as:
- Authentication
- Authorization
- Input Validation
- Data Classification
- Data Protection
- Session Management
- Configuration Management
- Exception Management
- Auditing and Logging
When to perform a Security Architecture Review
A security architecture review focuses on evaluating the security controls across the application stack, as well as the supporting cloud or network infrastructure.
Conducting a security architecture review during the application’s design phase is critical. Addressing architectural flaws early helps avoid the significantly higher cost and effort required to fix security weaknesses after the application has been developed and deployed.
We recommend performing an application security architecture review in the following scenarios:
- During the design phase of an application
- For existing applications that are critical for the organization
- During any application re-design
- Whenever the application has existing vulnerabilities
- Whenever the application has to meet compliance requirements
