Professional who designs security frameworks and ensures systems are built securely from the ground up.
A security architect designs security frameworks, defines security requirements for systems and projects, and ensures security is built into solutions from the start. Architects work at a strategic level—defining security patterns, evaluating technologies, and advising on secure design. They translate business requirements and risk appetite into security architecture. Security architects bridge business needs, technical implementation, and security requirements.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
Security architecture ensures security is designed in, not bolted on. Engage security architecture capability for significant projects and systems. Retrofitting security is expensive and often ineffective.
