Architecture review: find design flaws before they get expensive.
We review your existing or planned security architecture and identify design flaws, misconfigurations and strategic gaps. Most valuable before a cloud migration, a new build or a major restructuring, while changes are still cheap.

When an architecture review makes sense
Before a cloud migration
Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS or a Swiss cloud provider: if you plan the security architecture only after the move, you build the old mistakes into the new environment.
For new builds
New site, new platform, new product. A review in the design phase costs days. The same after go-live costs months.
For environments that have grown over time
Ten years, three IT partners, nobody has the whole picture anymore. We redraw it and show where the structure itself is the risk.
For mergers and acquisitions
Two networks, two identity sources, two security levels. We tell you how to merge them without turning the weaker side into the entry point.
What we review
- Network segmentation and zoning: what can talk to what, and does it need to?
- Identity and access management: admin rights, service accounts, multi-factor, permission assignment.
- Cloud architecture: tenant separation, key management, network boundaries, logging.
- Backup and recovery concept: can a ransomware attacker reach the backup?
- Remote access, VPN, zero trust readiness and access for external service providers.
- Logging and detection: would you even see an attack?
- Dependencies on single people, single systems and single vendors.
Process
Documents and interviews
We review architecture diagrams, configurations and contracts and talk to the people who built and operate the environment.
Analysis
Comparison of the current architecture against threat scenarios that are realistic for your company. Not against a checklist, but against an attacker.
Target picture and staged plan
Report with design flaws by severity, a target picture for the secure architecture and a staged plan that is feasible with your budget and your IT partner.
Presentation and sparring
We present the result and remain available to your IT team or provider as a sparring partner during implementation.
Frequently asked questions
Does the review replace my IT partner?
No. We complement them. Your IT partner knows your environment, we know the attackers. The review gives both a common foundation.
Does the architecture have to exist already?
No. The review delivers the most value in the planning phase, when changes cost nothing yet. We review concepts and diagrams just as we review live environments.
How is this different from the security health check?
The health check measures the current state across technology, processes and people. The architecture review goes deep into the technical structure and delivers a target picture. For an upcoming migration, the review is the right choice.
What does the review cost?
From CHF 5,500 excluding VAT for an environment of medium complexity. We quote the exact price after a short scoping call.
