Identity & access patterns
We design authentication, authorisation, privileged access, and federation models that match your directory and application landscape. Privilege is scoped; standing admin paths are reduced by design.
01
Design
Architecture that
constrains blast radius.
Security architecture decides how identity, networks, and workloads trust each other. CyberSafe designs patterns you can implement — segmentation, zero trust principles, and cloud guardrails — without theatre.
Build for reality
Controls must fit operations.
Reference architectures that ignore how teams deploy, how vendors integrate, and how users work will be bypassed within months. We start from your critical processes and data flows, then design trust boundaries, identity patterns, and logging requirements that reduce blast radius without freezing delivery.
Deliverables are concrete: target-state diagrams, control requirements, migration sequences, and decision records. Whether you are moving to cloud, consolidating identity, or separating OT and IT, the architecture is written so engineers can implement and auditors can follow the rationale.

Capabilities
Architecture domains
Patterns across identity, network, cloud, and application edges.
Network segmentation
Trust zones follow business sensitivity and traffic reality — not endless VLANs with flat allow rules. East-west paths are constrained so compromise of one tier does not gift the estate.
02
Cloud & hybrid guardrails
Landing zones, IAM boundaries, and logging baselines are defined for the clouds you actually use. Guardrails prevent drift without requiring a ticket for every legitimate change.
03
Control placement
We decide where encryption, inspection, and detection belong so tools reinforce architecture instead of papering over flat trust. Placement is justified against threat and cost.
04
Process
Architecture engagement flow
From current-state honesty to an implementable target design.
- 01
Current state
Document as-is trust, identity, connectivity, and critical data paths.
- 02
Principles
Agree design principles and constraints with architecture and security stakeholders.
- 03
Target design
Produce diagrams, control requirements, and interface contracts for key systems.
- 04
Transition
Sequence migrations and interim states that keep operations running.
- 05
Govern
Define review gates so new systems inherit the pattern instead of reinventing trust.

Threat landscape
The surface does not sit still.
Cloud estates, identities, vendors, and employee devices shift every week. A once-a-year assessment is a snapshot. CyberSafe treats the attack surface as a live model — continuously scanned, ranked by business consequence, and tied to the work of closing what actually matters.
- Internet-facing services, identity paths, and cloud defaults mapped as one surface
- Automated probing tropes — phishing, credential stuffing, unpatched CVEs — ranked by impact
- A continuous scan model so new exposure is seen before it becomes an incident
