Security & Cloud Architecture

Holistic security design that spans identity, endpoint, cloud, and on-prem, tailored to how your business actually operates.

Reference architectures

Clear diagrams and narratives describing how your environment fits together—network, identity, endpoint, logging, and cloud services.

  • Current-state and target-state architecture views
  • Security control placement and data flows
  • Alignment to your risk appetite and regulatory expectations

Cloud & application security design

Patterns for securing workloads and data across public cloud and SaaS platforms, with practical guidance for engineering teams.

  • Environment and account structure
  • Network and identity boundaries
  • Logging, monitoring, and incident-response hooks

Network & Site Design

Opinionated designs for branches, sites, and data centers—built for reliability, security, and day-2 operations.

Multi-site design

Patterns for finance, healthcare, retail, and consumer services environments—including high-volume locations like car washes.

Branch & HQ patterns Segmentation Redundancy

Access & segmentation

Logical network layouts that separate users, devices, and workloads while keeping troubleshooting realistic.

VLAN / subnet strategy Privileged access paths Guest & IoT isolation

Visibility & logging

Designs that capture the right telemetry from sites, endpoints, and cloud to support investigations.

Flow & DNS visibility Log normalization SOC-friendly views

Endpoint, Logging & Detection

Making sure endpoints, logs, and detections work as a system, not a pile of tools.

Endpoint standards & images

Baseline configurations, gold images, and control sets for laptops, servers, and cloud workloads.

  • Baseline control sets by platform
  • Image lifecycle and hardening considerations
  • Integration with endpoint protection & EDR

Logging & detection strategy

What to log, where to send it, and how to use it in practice—without blowing up storage or the SOC.

  • Log source prioritization and onboarding plans
  • Detection use-cases and playbook hooks
  • Retention and access considerations

Policies, Standards & Patterns

The “admin” side of security and architecture—written so people can actually follow it.

Security & IT policies

Concise, implementable policies that align to your regulatory obligations without becoming shelf-ware.

  • Security, acceptable use, and access policies
  • Endpoint, logging, and backup policies
  • Review cycles and ownership mapped out

Architecture standards & design patterns

Reusable patterns that guide how teams design, build, and operate systems.

  • Standards for network, cloud, and application design
  • “Reference build” documents and templates
  • Patterns that reflect how your teams actually work

Advisory & Fractional Architect

Ongoing guidance for architecture, security, and operations teams without hiring another full-time headcount.

  • Regular design reviews and architectural “office hours”
  • Support during tool evaluations and RFPs
  • Help translating security and architecture requirements into practical work for delivery teams
