Application Architecture Review

Securing the Foundations of Your Digital Infrastructure

Our Application Architecture Review (AAR) focuses on addressing critical issues like configuration weaknesses, session management vulnerabilities, and potential cryptography flaws. It evaluates your application's security design and implementation using industry-standard controls.

Unveiling Vulnerabilities, Reinforcing Security

Prescient Security’s AAR is an in-depth evaluation, distinct from standard penetration tests and vulnerability scans. Our focused review, grounded in industry-standard controls, scrutinizes security designs and implementation weaknesses, matching threat assessment with architecture to ensure that controls are in place to address likely attack types.

Our Focused Review Areas:

  • Information from Personnel: Leveraging insights gathered from your team for a comprehensive understanding of the application environment.

  • Regulatory and Corporate Security Requirements: Customized review to meet specific compliance and security standards relevant to your industry.

  • Best Practices and Specific Technology Controls: Applying industry best practices and scrutinizing technology and system controls for robustness and efficiency.
  • Threat Identification and Assessment: Identifying potential sources of attack and common attack types associated with each threat.

6-Layer Security Assessment

Our approach encompasses a multi-layered assessment, ensuring a thorough evaluation of external and internal aspects of your application:

  1. Accreditation Boundary
  2. Perimeter
  3. Local Area Network (LAN)
  4. Host
  5. Application
  6. Operating System (OS)
Each layer is assessed for vulnerabilities, with an understanding that protections at one layer can mitigate risks at another. This holistic deeply covers confidentiality, integrity, availability, and defense.

Our Detailed Methodology

Our methodology is thorough and detail-oriented, covering every aspect of your application's architecture:

System Identification:

  • Naming, categorization, and sensitivity assessment
  • Responsibility matrix and general system overview
  • Interconnection, environment, regulations, and policies

Risk Management Controls:

  • Assessment and management of risks
  • Security controls review
  • Planning stages from initiation to disposal
  • Establishing rules of behavior

Optional Controls Review:

  • Evaluating personnel and physical controls
  • Contingency planning
  • Configuration management
  • Data integrity and validation
  • Incident response mechanisms
  • Security awareness and training programs

Technical Controls Review:

  • Processes for identification and authentication
  • Access controls and audit trails

The Prescient Security Edge

Why Choose Prescient Security for Application Architecture Review?

Our process focuses on secure configuration management for sensitive data protection, robust session management to prevent unauthorized access, and effective cryptography to secure data in transit and at rest. We also examine parameters for potential manipulation vulnerabilities and implement strong exception management and auditing/logging practices. This detailed examination spans across various layers of your application, from external interfaces down to the operating system.
