// SECURITY ARCHITECTURE CONSULTING
We design your corporate security architecture together with your critical business processes.
Consulting service for risk-driven, standards-compliant, long-term security architecture design tailored to your specific needs and environment.
// WHY KRITERA
Three points of differentiation
Architectural decisions are 10-year investment commitments. Kritera locks in that decision with three core principles.
01
Risk-Driven Design
First your business and data flows, then the risk map, then the architecture. Not the other way around. Every decision is explicitly justified by business impact.
02
Standards Framework
Cross-compliant solutions aligned with ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Zero Trust principles and sector regulations (BDDK, SPK, KVKK).
03
Actionable Roadmap
Architecture not just on paper — implementable within 12 months, owned by your teams, delivered with measurable KPIs.
// PROCESS
Five-phase delivery
WEEK 1
Existing Infrastructure Analysis
Network topology, system inventory, mapping of current security controls. Vision interview with senior management, deep-dive workshop with technical teams.
WEEK 2-3
Needs & Risk Assessment
Data classification, criticality analysis, threat modeling (STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK), regulatory mapping. Output: prioritized risk list.
WEEK 4-5
Architecture Design
Target security architecture — network segmentation, identity management, data protection, monitoring/response, end-to-end encryption. Multiple alternatives presented.
WEEK 6
Roadmap & KPIs
12-24 month phased implementation plan. Budget estimates, vendor selection criteria, success metrics. One-page summary for executive approval.
ONGOING
Implementation Support
On request, technical decision consulting with your team during implementation. RFP preparation, vendor evaluation, POC review.
// PITFALLS
Five most common mistakes in architecture decisions
Common mistakes Kritera has seen in 15 years of experience that turn into massive costs later. We prevent all of them up front:
Single-vendor lock-in
Binding architecture to one supplier’s product family. Solution: Vendor-agnostic reference architecture + standard interfaces.
Compliance-only focus
Designing only for regulatory checklists, ignoring real threats. Solution: Balanced risk + compliance approach.
Big-bang transformation
Plan to change everything at once — team burnout. Solution: Phased plan with milestones every 3-6 months.
Unmeasurable success
Architecture that cannot say “we are more secure.” Solution: KPI-based measurement (MTTR, coverage, false positive rate)
Operational team excluded
Designing without involving SOC/IT. Solution: Operational team ownership secured in architecture workshops.
