Select applicable Saudi cybersecurity requirements and recognized international standards and best practices based on the environment, industry, and regulatory obligations.
01
Identify architectural weaknesses, security risks, and improvement opportunities across the existing environment.
02
Assess security control coverage, placement, and integration to identify opportunities for improving the effectiveness of existing cybersecurity capabilities.
03
Identify architectural risks and resilience gaps that may affect high availability and overall security resilience.
Review the overall cybersecurity architecture, including security layers, trust boundaries, and alignment between security capabilities. Architecture documentation, security components, integrations, and relevant data flows are also assessed to verify completeness and accuracy and provide a clearer view of the current design and its overall architectural effectiveness.

Assess network zoning, segmentation, traffic flows, trust boundaries, and separation of critical environments. The review also covers authentication, authorization, privileged access, remote connectivity, administrative access paths, and identity integration to evaluate how effectively network and access architecture support secure connectivity across the environment.
Evaluate whether security technologies and controls are appropriately positioned for their intended functions and how they integrate and exchange security information. Security visibility, monitoring architecture, logging flows, detection coverage, and integration with security operations are also reviewed to identify architectural gaps that may reduce overall security effectiveness.
Assess security architecture across applicable in-scope on-premises, private cloud, public cloud, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments and their interconnections. The review also considers the architecture of data protection, encryption and key management, high availability, redundancy, architectural single points of failure, and Zero Trust principles to identify opportunities for stronger resilience and architectural maturity.

Step 2
Assess security architecture, control placement, integration, resilience, and coverage across the technology environment.
Step 3
Identify design gaps, security risks, control coverage gaps, and improvement opportunities across the existing architecture.
Step 4
Develop practical, risk-prioritized recommendations to strengthen security design and improve architectural effectiveness.
