• Define enterprise security reference architectures, including zero-trust and defense-in-depth models.
• Develop reusable security patterns for authentication, authorization, APIs, applications, networks, and data protection.
• Establish security controls and requirements by application tier.
• Define identity and access management (IAM), encryption, key management, and secrets management standards.

Security Framework Development

• Create secure design templates for web applications, APIs, and microservices.
• Develop threat modeling frameworks and methodologies.
• Establish security testing standards, including SAST, DAST, and penetration testing guidance.
• Define DevSecOps and shift-left security practices.
• Create security compliance patterns supporting regulatory and industry standards.

Governance & Enablement

• Review solution architectures for alignment with security standards.
• Lead security architecture reviews and threat modeling activities.
• Define security review criteria and exception processes.
• Train architects and stakeholders on security patterns and secure design principles.
• Maintain and evolve the enterprise security pattern catalog.

Requirements

• Experience in highly regulated environments.
• Background in penetration testing or offensive security.
• Experience implementing zero-trust architecture at enterprise scale.
• Deep knowledge of compliance frameworks and audit requirements.

What You'll Deliver

• Enterprise security reference architectures.
• Security pattern library and design templates.
• Security controls framework by application tier.
• Zero-trust implementation standards.
• IAM, encryption, and secrets management patterns.
• Threat modeling framework and review processes.
• DevSecOps standards and security governance criteria.
