Strategic Security & Architecture Assurance

Deep system & application security audits plus outcome‑driven security consultancy. We help engineering teams mature faster, reduce exploit surface, and make security an enabler—not friction.

System & Application Security Audit

Holistic review across architecture, code, dependencies, deployment, and operational posture.

  • Architecture threat mapping & trust boundary validation
  • Secure design & abuse‑case analysis (beyond OWASP)
  • Code & SBOM dependency risk (SCA + exploitability context)
  • Secrets, key & credential management flows
  • IaC / container / supply-chain hardening (CI/CD paths)
  • Observability & detection coverage gaps

Outputs: prioritized risk matrix, architecture deltas, exploit chain narratives, remediation playbook.

Typical engagement: 2–4 weeks or rolling quarterly assurance.

Security Consultancy & Fractional Leadership

Embed seasoned security engineering & strategic guidance without full‑time overhead.

  • Fractional CISO / security lead
  • Secure architecture & review board participation
  • Threat modeling facilitation & developer empowerment
  • Policy & governance (lightweight, engineering‑aligned)
  • Incident readiness drills & response advisory
  • DevSecOps enablement & build pipeline uplift

Formats: monthly retainer, strategic sprints, or transformation blocks.

Targeted Pentesting (Add‑On)

Focused validation aligned to real attack paths & audit findings—no checkbox scanning.

  • Business logic & authorization abuse flows
  • API misuse & abuse scenario chaining
  • Cloud / infra misconfiguration verification
  • Post‑remediation validation & drift detection

Positioning: Complements—not replaces—the deeper audit & strategic uplift.

What You Receive

Risk Heatmap

Ranked by exploitability × impact × detection gaps.

Architecture Delta Map

Visual before/after with priority pathways.

Exploit Chain Narratives

Realistic attacker sequences (initial foothold → lateral impact).

Remediation Playbook

Actionable steps with effort estimates & quick wins flagged.

Executive Rollup

Concise board / leadership summary (non‑technical).

Developer Artifacts

Issue tickets, code review notes, IaC hardening snippets.

Engagement Flow

  1. Discovery & scoping: architecture intake, threat lens alignment.
  2. Baseline mapping: trust boundaries, data flows, attack surface graph.
  3. Deep analysis: code / config / pipeline / behavioral risk review.
  4. Prioritized consolidation: risk matrix & exploit chains.
  5. Remediation pairing: working sessions with engineering owners.
  6. Validation & uplift: post‑fix verification + delta tracking.

Why Teams Choose Hafeniq

Engineering First

We speak architecture, not policy boilerplate—fast integration with delivery cadence.

Strategic + Tactical

Blend of structural risk reduction & hands‑on hardening.

Actionable Clarity

No generic findings; every item has context, path, and recommended control.

Continuity

Quarterly deltas & drift detection keep security posture current.
