Application Architecture Review

Securing the Foundations of Your Digital Infrastructure

Focused on addressing critical issues such as configuration weaknesses, session management vulnerabilities, and potential cryptography flaws, our Application Architecture Review (AAR) service 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, identifying exploits and potential vulnerabilities from the ground up.

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: Tailoring our 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.

6-Layer Security Assessment

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

  • Accreditation Boundary
  • Perimeter
  • Local Area Network (LAN)
  • Host
  • Application
  • Operating System (OS)
Each layer is assessed for vulnerabilities, with an understanding that protections at one layer can mitigate risks at another. This holistic approach covers areas of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and defense in depth.

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

 

Operational 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.
