Why is an in-depth review crucial for organizations to evaluate their security architecture?

An in-depth review of security architecture allows organizations to ensure that their security requirements, particularly those aligned with industry best practices and applicable standards, are effectively met. This process enables organizations to identify gaps, align security controls with business and regulatory needs, and maintain robust protection for information assets.

“Security architecture reviews help verify that security requirements, including those based on industry best practices, have been properly implemented and maintained.”
