In today’s complex IT landscape, the security of your network architecture is crucial to safeguarding sensitive data, maintaining compliance, and ensuring the smooth operation of business activities. With constant advancements in technology, even minor updates to your network can introduce unexpected vulnerabilities. A Network Architecture Review by Securis360 provides a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating potential security flaws within your organization’s infrastructure, ensuring that your network architecture aligns with best practices and compliance standards.
Why Choose a Network Architecture Review?
A Network Architecture Review is an in-depth assessment that identifies weaknesses in your network’s design and configuration, helping to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents. This process provides a valuable layer of security by evaluating your network against critical business operations and ensuring robust controls are in place to protect your assets. Whether you’ve made recent changes or are simply looking to strengthen your defenses, a Network Architecture Review can help you achieve a more resilient network.

The Network Architecture Review Methodology
Securis360’s Network Architecture Review follows a meticulous and systematic methodology:
1. Information Gathering
Our team begins by collecting all relevant documentation, including network architecture diagrams, security requirements, technology inventories, and details about the DMZ (demilitarized zone). In addition to document analysis, Securis360’s engineers conduct interviews with network architects, engineers, security analysts, and key stakeholders. This dual approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the network environment and fills in any gaps that documentation alone may miss.
2. Analysis of Findings
Once the necessary information is collected, Securis360 performs an in-depth analysis to evaluate compliance with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and best security practices. This phase identifies any deviations from accepted standards and highlights vulnerabilities that could impact the security of your network.
3. Recommendations
After completing the analysis, Securis360 prepares a detailed report of findings and recommendations. This report outlines the identified vulnerabilities and provides actionable steps for enhancing network security. Recommendations may include network architecture improvements, updates to technology, and enhancements to security protocols.
