Design security before the first commit is written

Design of SaaS, cloud or corporate networks based on Zero Trust and Defense in Depth. Threat model, architecture diagrams, hardening guides, compliance map.

Fits both new projects and the refactor of existing systems.

Principles

Four pillars of modern security architecture

Zero Trust

No implicit trust zones. Every request — auth, authorization, context and logging, regardless of source.

Defense in Depth

Layered defence: perimeter, network, app, data. Each layer works even if another fails.

Least Privilege

Minimal necessary rights — for people, services, roles. Access is granted per task and revoked automatically.

Auditability

Every meaningful action — a log. SIEM-friendly format, retention, search, correlation and clear alerts.

Deliverables

What you get

Threat model

STRIDE/MITRE breakdown for key processes with countermeasures and prioritised mitigations.

Architecture diagrams

Zones, segments, data flows, trust, control points. Clear to the team, auditor and regulator.

Hardening guides

Checklists for servers, networks, databases, cloud, IAM, containers and Kubernetes.

Compliance map

Mapping your controls to ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR — what's there and what's missing.

Who it's for

Teams building or rebuilding systems

/ 01

New SaaS

Designing security from scratch: architecture, IAM, encryption, logging, secrets management.

/ 02

Cloud projects

AWS / GCP / Azure: landing zones, VPC, security groups, KMS, audit, account organisation.

/ 03

Corporate network

Segmentation, NAC, VPN, remote-employee access, legacy system protection.

/ 04

Compliance projects

Preparing for ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2 — we set up the processes and documentation.

How it goes

Five steps from inquiry to support

1

Inquiry and context

We learn about the project: stage, technologies, regulation, risks, constraints.

2

Current state

We review existing architecture (if any). Identify growth points and bottlenecks.

3

Threat model + design

Model threats, work through the target architecture. Discuss alternatives.

4

Documentation

Deliver diagrams, threat model, hardening guides, compliance map.

5

Implementation support

We support the implementation team, answer questions, review architecture PRs.

Inquiry

Request a security architecture design

Describe the project and stage — details get discussed in DevBay's secure chat.

  • NDA from the first message
  • Documentation in formats the team can use
  • Implementation support and PR review
  • Compliance mapping on request

Project parameters

After submission we open a dialog in the internal chat — that's where we continue.

By submitting the form you agree to our data processing policy and the DevBay terms of service.

What's next: after submission a dialog opens in the internal chat. We sign the NDA, discuss the project stage and agree on the working format there.

Describe the project — we'll map the threats, design the architecture, hand over the docs and help implement.
