Secure design (network, infrastructure, applications)

In today’s world, cybersecurity should not be seen as a piecemeal, tool-based approach; it should be designed and managed as part of the organization’s fundamental design, aligned with business objectives. Diyako Secure Bow Secure Design is the backbone of your organization’s security. Security is not a tool or an add-on layer, but rather part of your organization’s fundamental design (DNA) . We manage security from design to implementation and monitoring with an integrated approach.

Common challenges of organizations

Purchasing equipment without a specific architecture
Misalignment of security with business goals
Vendor dependency
Implementation errors and misconfiguration
Lack of a unified view of risk
Purchasing equipment beyond what is needed
Result: Insecure architecture + excess cost + high risk

Secure Design Solution Delivery Model

1. Architectural design Cybersecurity

In this phase, your organization's security architecture is designed in a risk-based, vendor-independent manner, and aligned with business goals.

Design scope

• Infrastructure Security

• Network Security

• Application & Data Security

Implementation steps

1. Gathering information and understanding the organization

• Identifying Critical Assets

• Data Classification

• Understanding business requirements and constraints

2. Validation and analysis of the current situation

• Review current documentation, topologies, and controls

• Security Gap Analysis

3. Interview with stakeholders

• Extracting hidden concerns, needs, and risks

• Alignment of technical and managerial perspectives

4. Review of previous projects and architectures

• Analysis of executive records

• Identify recurring weaknesses

5. Assess upstream requirements and compliance

• Review legal and governance requirements

• Compliance with standards such as ISO 27001, NIST and CIS

6. Future-State Design

• Analysis of organization development plans

• Designing a secure, scalable and extensible architecture

7. Cybersecurity Risk Assessment

• Identify threats and attack scenarios

• Probability and impact analysis

• Prioritizing risks

2. Security governance In the supply and purchase of equipment

In this phase, it is ensured that the process of purchasing security equipment and solutions is carried out in full alignment with the designed architecture, optimally, and without vendor dependency.

Key Activities

• Define technical and security requirements before purchasing

• Assessing suppliers for security, quality and compliance

• Review and confirm the List of Equipment and Licenses (LOM)

• Control of purchase details including:

• Capacity (Sizing)

• Licenses

• Compatibility with existing infrastructure

• Prevent Over/Under-Provisioning

• Ensure full alignment of purchasing with security architecture

3. Monitoring and assurance Proper implementation of security architecture

In this phase, Diaco ensures that what has been designed is implemented accurately and to standard without deviation.

Key Activities

• Review and approval of detailed design (LLD)

• Supervise the implementation of equipment by the contractor or the client's internal team

• Review and evaluate security settings (Secure Configuration Review)

• Control of compliance with international standards and practices

• Identify implementation errors and provide corrective actions

• Final approval of technical delivery (Technical Acceptance)

Key Deliverables

• Comprehensive risk and vulnerability report (Risk Register & Assessment)

• Designing security architecture at a macro and detailed level

• Technical and security documentation that can be presented to management and executive teams

• List of Equipment and Licenses (LOM)

• Technical documents for bidding (RFP)

• Implementation monitoring report and degree of compliance with design

4. Monitoring, reporting and continuous improvement

In this phase, GRC becomes a dynamic and measurable system that continuously assesses and improves the organization's security posture.

Key Activities

• Definition of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and Risk Indicators (KRI)

• Design and deployment of management dashboards

• Connecting GRC processes to the Security Operations Center

• Analyze trends and identify weaknesses

• Implementing a continuous security improvement cycle

5. Integrated governance and oversight Security and technology projects

In this phase, all projects related to the organization's security and information technology, from the information collection stage to design, implementation, security, and auditing, are managed within a governance structure and under centralized supervision.

Executive approach

1. Establishing the Security and Technology Project Management Office model within the framework of organizational governance

2. Monitoring the full cycle of projects:

• Requirements analysis and collection

• Architectural design

• Implementation and deployment

• Securing and strengthening

• Security assessment and audit

3. Ensure alignment of all projects with:

• Security architecture

• Governance, risk and compliance requirements

• Organizational security policies and standards

4. Establishing an internal monitoring and control mechanism

5. Quality, risk, and compliance control throughout the entire life cycle of security and technology projects

Key outputs

• Security governance framework and policy documentation

• Roles and Responsibilities Matrix

• Risk assessment report and risk register

• Risk management and mitigation plan

• Mapping risks to controls

• Gap analysis report and compliance roadmap

• Documentation of controls and implementation evidence

• Audit and management reports

• Management dashboards and security indicators

• Governance, Risk and Compliance Maturity Model

• Project monitoring and compliance reports
