Cyber Integration Services

Secure architecture design 

We tailor each architecture to your operational context, mission objectives, and threat exposure. Whether building a new system or modernising an existing one, we integrate security at every level: 

• Layered defence architectures aligned with Zero Trust principles. 

• Integration across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments. 

• Resilient designs capable of withstanding advanced persistent threats (APTs), nation-state actors, and supply chain risks. 

• Interoperability with legacy systems and emerging technologies (AI, quantum, 5G). 

• Dedicated design for critical infrastructures, ICS/SCADA systems, and real-time environments. 

Thales brings together the best of system engineering and cybersecurity, ensuring that protection is never an afterthought, but a strategic foundation.

Our experts conduct deep technical and functional analysis to understand your threat landscape and define tailored mitigation strategies. 

• Comprehensive threat modelling methodologies (STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK, etc.). 

• Risk analysis based on international standards (ISO 27005, EBIOS RM). 

• Identification of high-value assets, attack surfaces, and business-critical dependencies. 

• Red/blue teaming input for realistic threat anticipation. 

• Actionable roadmaps to reduce risk and align with strategic cyber priorities. 

With more than 6000 cybersecurity experts worldwide and decades of experience, Thales has the capacity to anticipate tomorrow’s attacks—today.

We ensure that your architectures are born compliant, minimizing time to certification and maximising resilience against audits. 

• Alignment with regulatory frameworks: NIS2, ISO 27001, ANSSI standards, DORA, GDPR, NIST, and CIS controls.

• Governance integration into system design (policies, roles, identity, data lifecycle). 

• Documentation support for audits, certifications, and risk registers. 

• Built-in traceability and assurance mechanisms. 

Security by design becomes a lever for business continuity, not a bottleneck.

Initial scoping & risk profiling 

Before any line is drawn, we define the battlefield. 

Our teams identify mission-critical assets, map their dependencies, and assess your organisation’s risk appetite in line with business priorities and regulatory obligations. 

We analyse:

• Technical architectures, data flows, and stakeholder roles. 

• Threat exposure by industry sector and geopolitical context. 

• Applicable regulations (e.g., NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA). 

The goal: build a security architecture rooted in your operational reality, not in generic checklists.

We co-design with you, not for you. 

Thales organises collaborative workshops to define target security architectures, based on real-world threats and business objectives. 

This step includes: 

• Advanced threat modelling (STRIDE, MITRE ATT&CK, EBIOS RM). 

• Security pattern selection (zoning, segmentation, zero trust layers). 

• Resilience mapping and high-availability design. 

By simulating attacker behaviours and operational constraints, we translate theory into actionable design.

What looks good on paper must withstand real pressure. 

We stress-test the designed architecture using both virtual and operational simulations. This ensures your future system resists modern threats before it even goes live. 

This phase includes: 

• Red teaming and penetration testing on architectural components. 

• Simulated attacks in cyber ranges to test detection and response readiness. 

• Validation of failover scenarios, backup strategies, and business continuity. 

We turn the blueprint into a battlefield-proven foundation.

Security architecture is not only technical : it’s a strategic and auditable asset. 

We provide exhaustive documentation and governance frameworks that meet both internal needs and external regulations. 

Deliverables include: 

• Architectural blueprints, data flow diagrams, and component mapping. 

• Security controls matrix aligned with compliance standards (NIS2, ISO 27001, etc.). 

• Governance processes: roles, responsibilities, change management, escalation paths.

Your security posture becomes both visible and verifiable — to leadership, auditors, and partners.

From design to reality — with zero disruption. 

We ensure that everything created in the architecture phase is smoothly transferred to our integration and deployment teams. 

This includes: 

• Handover meetings and technical workshops with project managers and engineers. 

• Alignment on tooling, platforms, and timeline. 

• Secure transition into “Build & Run” phases with continuous support. 

A seamless bridge between vision and execution, with no compromise on security integrity.

Seamless integration across IT & OT environments 

Our integration services are tailored to meet the specific constraints and architectures of both IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) domains. Thales ensures coherence and performance across traditionally siloed systems. 

• IT/OT Convergence Expertise: We understand the security needs of industrial systems and critical infrastructure. Whether you're protecting a SCADA network or a hybrid cloud deployment, we ensure secure interoperability. 

• Technology Agnostic: From legacy protocols to modern APIs, our teams integrate a wide range of cybersecurity technologies from Thales and leading third-party vendors. 

• Structured Integration Approach: Step-by-step planning, pilot deployments, and rollback scenarios help ensure a controlled and non-disruptive integration process. 

• Risk-Based Prioritisation: Integration efforts are aligned with your risk profile and business priorities — critical assets first, always.

Every solution deployed by Thales is hardened and validated before going live, ensuring that your defenses are not just deployed — but deployed securely. 

• Security by Design: We apply secure configuration principles from the outset (least privilege, segmentation, encryption, etc.), in line with international standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and ANSSI. 

• System Hardening: Our engineers reduce the attack surface by disabling non-essential services, enforcing strict access controls, and securing all interfaces. 

• Environment-Specific Testing: Before rollout, systems are tested within your operational context. This includes functional testing, stress-testing, and red team/blue team scenarios. 

• Controlled Deployment: Deployment plans are co-developed with your teams to avoid service interruption, ensure user adoption, and maintain business continuity. 

Cybersecurity is an ongoing process. Thales provides operational support that extends far beyond initial deployment, ensuring your technologies remain aligned with threats and compliant with regulations. 

• Lifecycle Services: Our experts handle patch management, firmware updates, and security upgrades as part of an end-to-end service model. 

• Obsolescence Planning: We anticipate end-of-support risks and proactively develop upgrade paths or migration strategies, so your cybersecurity remains future-proof. 

• SOC & MDR Integration: Technologies deployed are often paired with our local or global Security Operation Centres, allowing for real-time monitoring, alerting, and incident response. 

• Dedicated Support Models: From on-call technical experts to 24/7 hotline and on-site interventions, our support scales with your operational needs and risk profile.
