Embrace Complexity, Deliver Simplicity
Architected for Security: by Design and Default
Your Security Strategy outlines how your Business Strategy can be made resilient to any significant threat to its objectives.
With CEM, your Enterprise Security Architecture is the manifestation of that strategy.
It permeates all aspects of business and IT architecture where vulnerabilities might be exploited to pose a business risk.
In today’s challenging landscape, the ability to maintain architecture in dynamic alignment with business strategy, and demonstrate that ability, is becoming increasingly important.

Vision to Operation through Modelling and Automation
Effective communication of current and alternative architectures is essential to good decision-making, yet traditional documentation methods are ill-suited to the agility, scale and sheer complexity of describing the conceptual landscape.
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) overcomes this by collaboration around a common model from which a coherent set of stakeholder-oriented viewpoints can be generated on demand.
More significantly, the adoption of a formal modelling notation enables automation: bringing the benefits of productivity, validation, analysis, simulation and reporting to the architectural practice.
Business Benefits
Model-Driven Enterprise Security Architecture
The ability to overlay the security perspective onto regular EA models, offers clear advantages over traditional approaches:
Agility: Quickly assess and adapt your security posture to new threats or regulatory changes with scenario modelling and automated analysis.
Maintainability: The modularity of architectural patterns and building blocks simplifies and shortens review and publication cycles.
Cost-Reduction: Increase operational efficiency by reusing existing modules, or use powerful editing & validation tools to create new ones.
Communication: Generate coherent documentation sets, tailored to each stakeholder, from a single source.
High-Assurance: Raise confidence in your system’s true security posture with actionable insights and verifiable evidence.
About Us
Specialists in Enterprise Security Architecture
Cyber Enterprise Modelling is a niche consultancy specialising in the application of model-driven techniques to security architecture: redefining both how it is performed and what it is capable of.
We help our clients establish seamless, cost-effective security at the core of their architecture development methodology.
Either as as a general system description or to address a specific need, our models generate actionable insights that proactively address vulnerabilities and demonstrate evidence-based compliance with regulations and industry standards.
Why Choose CEM?
CEM is a leading exponent of integrating the security architecture perspective in standard ArchiMate.
Our expertise is based on many years of practice in the SABSA methodology and our instrumental role in the development and application of the Security Overlay for ArchiMate: now published both as a SABSA Institute White Paper and an Open Group Guide.
We have built up an extensive library of pre-modelled control frameworks and reference architectures that can get your security architecture off to a flying start.
