Architecture

Identify architecture drift through dependencies, ownership and change cost.

Document system boundaries, duplicated capabilities, unmanaged dependencies, responsible owners and the delivery impact before proposing a new target architecture.

Topics

How each area is approached

02 Platforms

Evaluate cloud and Kubernetes against workloads, teams and operating cost.

Compare service levels, deployment model, data boundaries, team capacity, tooling cost and ownership before deciding whether migration or containerisation solves the stated problem.

Platform modernisation ↗

03 Technology strategy

Evaluate AI against workflow, data, failure cost and human control.

Define the user workflow, available data, evaluation method, privacy constraints, operating owner and acceptable failure modes before choosing to build, buy, experiment or stop.

Technology strategy & decision support ↗

04 Transactions

Include post-transaction technical work in the deal model.

Test product, architecture, security and delivery claims; identify unsupported assumptions; and estimate the ownership, dependencies and cost of required change after the transaction.

Technical due diligence ↗

05 Remediation

Convert audit findings into implementation tasks and acceptance criteria.

Group findings by affected system and root cause, set technical priorities, assign implementation and approval owners, record dependencies and define evidence required for closure.

Findings Translation Sprint ↗

06 Assurance

Define closure evidence before remediation starts.

A closed item needs an implemented change, verification against the original risk, documented acceptance criteria and evidence suitable for review or retest.

Remediation Delivery Lead ↗

07 Security engineering

Assign vulnerability work by asset, exposure and service owner.

Scanning data needs asset context, exploitability, exposure, release capacity, exception rules, accountable service owners and verification before it becomes a risk-reduction plan.

Security & compliance engineering ↗

08 NIS2 & ISO 27001

Map NIS2 and ISO 27001 requirements to systems and engineering owners.

Identify affected systems, technical controls, implementation work, accountable owners, operating procedures and evidence for access, logging, resilience, suppliers and secure delivery.

Security & compliance engineering ↗

09 Product security

Connect SBOM and VEX to vulnerability and release decisions.

Define product ownership, dependency inventory, triage rules, release gates, supplier expectations, VEX decisions and customer communication before selecting tooling.
