Security and compliance
Security architecture review
A security architecture review examines how a system is designed, built and operated against the threats it actually faces, and produces a prioritised remediation plan. Hexploits reviews existing and planned systems using threat modelling and the OWASP and NCSC guidance, in plain language for the board and in detail for the engineers.
A named engineer replies within one working day. A written scope and an indicative price within two.
Who this is for
- Businesses about to build or buy something significant.
- IT directors asked to sign off a system they did not design.
- Companies whose largest customer has asked for evidence of security review.
What you get
Deliverables, not slogans. Each one appears in the statement of work.
- A threat model: assets, actors, entry points and the attacks that matter.
- Findings rated by likelihood and impact, with a fix for each.
- A prioritised remediation plan with effort and sequence.
- A board-level summary and an engineer-level report.
- Optional remediation as a follow-on project.
Our engineers work across the major languages, frameworks and cloud platforms. We build on the stack you already run, with technology choices explained in writing before work begins.
How it is delivered
The same four stages as every Hexploits engagement, applied to this capability.
Stage 1
Scope
Systems, data flows and the questions the review has to answer.
Stage 2
Review
Architecture, code, configuration, identity, data handling and operations, with the people who run them.
Stage 3
Report
Findings and the plan, presented to decision-makers.
Stage 4
Remediate
Fixes delivered as a project or under managed support, with re-review.
How success is measured
Every engagement agrees its measures and the measurement period in writing before work starts.
- Findings closed against the plan, by severity.
- Customer questionnaires answered from the review.
- Repeat findings in later tests, trending to zero.

Questions we get asked
Is this a penetration test?
How long does it take?
Will the report be understandable to non-engineers?
