Application Security Architecture Guidelines

Application Security Architecture Guidelines

The Application Security Architecture Guidelines is a walkthrough on the security concepts of application architecture. Designing and maintaining applications and systems based on security standards and best practices protects organizations from attack, reduces risk, and maintains compliance implicitly with virtually any standard, regulation, or law.

The objective of this document is to serve as a basic guideline for applications security design. This document provides a generic view, definitions and recommendations to be considered when stakeholders face by the first-time security design or review for a new or already existing application.

There are many resources that can be used to define an application security architecture and it is not the aim of this document to cover all of them. SDIP (“Software Development Improvement Program”) provides specific guidelines, training and resources that must be used as a reference for specific problems or decisions.

Application architecture design must adhere to Security Policies and Security Standards defined by the Company.

Document is applicable to all Company employees, third parties and functional units involved in the application design or acquisition process, typically owners, architects, developers and IS Security staff.
