Overview

The SABSA Security Architecture Assessment tool provides comprehensive evaluation of enterprise security architecture maturity using the industry-standard Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture (SABSA) framework. Designed for security architects, enterprise security leaders, and governance professionals, this platform delivers detailed assessments across multiple architectural layers and dimensions.

This tool enables organizations to measure their security architecture maturity, identify capability gaps, and establish roadmaps for security program enhancement. By analyzing organizational assets, processes, people, locations, motivations, and temporal factors across SABSA layers, the assessment provides actionable insights aligned with business objectives and compliance requirements.

Ideal users include Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), security architects, enterprise risk managers, compliance officers, and organizations seeking structured approaches to security architecture governance and maturity benchmarking.
