Whether an organization is small with a relatively straightforward data environment or a larger entity with a data infrastructure that’s far-reaching and complex, it’s a good idea to identify and protect against security risks by establishing a security architecture program and the associated processes to implement it.

What Is a Security Architecture Program?

It is a unified set of processes that help identify potential security risks, address vulnerabilities, and lays out a plan of action should a risk turn into an actual security threat. To create an enterprise security architecture program, it’s essential to consider these components:

Data and Asset Map Management

  • Mapping out where all data lives. Defines and manages specific categories of data so specific safeguards can be put into effect.

Architecture Documentation

  • This is a visual presentation of the preventive and detective safeguards that have been put in place within your security architecture.

Global Safeguards Responsibilities

  • Manage the enterprise security architecture with safeguards that might include identity management, application development, and logging and monitoring.

Security Architecture Measurement

  • An effective security architecture should have repeatable and measurable processes. This helps ensure the effectiveness of implemented safeguards.

Communication and Consulting

  • Proper communication, training, and interaction between the security architecture team, other employees, and third parties is vital.

Roadmap Development

  • Your security architecture roadmap should evolve with you. Constantly manage and develop new strategies, safeguards, and overall policies.

Risk Management Functions

  • Identify and assess security risks to security architecture-related processes, prioritizing them in order to determine the best course of action.

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Managed by the security architect, tasked with communicating with and reporting to the entire information technology architecture group.
