Security Architecture (Zero Trust & MCRA)

Security architecture defines how identity, endpoints, data, apps, infrastructure, and network controls combine to protect an organisation - anchored to Zero Trust and the Microsoft Cybersecurity Reference Architectures (MCRA), with delivery scaffolding from the Cloud Adoption Framework Secure methodology and workload-level rigour from the Well-Architected Framework Security pillar.

When to use

Designing an end-to-end security target state, aligning a multi-year roadmap to a recognised framework, or reviewing an architecture for gaps before a major programme of work.

Do not use this skill for:

• Tactical product configuration (use the product-specific skill, e.g. defender-xdr, sentinel)
• SOC tooling architecture only (use unified-secops-platform)
• Single-workload code review (use threat-modelling)
