Integration Security Architecture Template
Documenting security controls, authentication flows, and threat models for the integration layer
The Integration Security Architecture template provides a structured approach to documenting security controls, authentication flows, and threat models for the integration layer.
Template Sections
This template includes 8 sections.
Security Architecture Overview
Describe the security strategy for the integration layer, the threat landscape, and the security objectives
Integration Security Architecture Diagram
Diagram section
Integration Threat Model
Document threats to the integration layer using STRIDE or equivalent methodology
Authentication Controls
Document authentication mechanisms (OAuth2, mTLS, API keys, SAML) and where each applies
Authorisation and Access Controls
Document authorisation models (RBAC, ABAC, scopes) for integration access
Security Principles
State the security principles governing integration design (e.g., zero trust, defence in depth, least privilege)
Regulatory Compliance
Document regulatory requirements affecting integration security (GDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC2, HIPAA)
Security Risks
Document residual security risks with mitigations and assigned owners
