Enterprise Architecture Consulting — Security-Driven IT With Vision
Secure and resilient IT architecture is more important for businesses than ever.
In an era of accelerating cyber-threats and ever-more complex IT estates, a secure, resilient architecture is more critical than ever. Our consulting practice helps you build exactly that: robust, future-proof system landscapes where applications run safely and efficiently—without sacrificing scalability or performance.
That may sound abstract, yet architecture is one of the most powerful levers for aligning IT and business. Instead of tending isolated point solutions, you gain a coherent, security-centric framework that enables growth while keeping risk under control. With concentrade as your partner, you move from fragmented IT to a reliable, strategic architecture—tailor-made, scalable, and secure.
5 good reasons for Architecture Consulting
Structure and Security Instead of Chaos
IT architectures often grow uncontrollably – new tools, outdated systems, and a lack of overview. Enterprise Architecture Consulting brings not only order but also integrates security concepts like ZTNA and segmentation from the start to minimize risks and maintain clarity.
Efficiency through resilient systems
A well-planned, security-focused architecture avoids redundancies, accelerates processes, and ensures that systems function reliably even under load. Media disruptions and access issues are a thing of the past.
Control risks - through clear governance
With Enterprise Architecture Consulting, you establish governance at all levels: Access, roles, and data flows become traceable and auditable. Compliance requirements are automatically supported, as well as your internal security policies.
Informed Decisions
Thanks to holistic architectural models, you not only focus on IT but also on potential security risks. This enables fact-based investment decisions instead of reactive problem-solving.
Future-proofing through scalability
Whether it's cloud migration, IoT, or new business models – with an architectural framework that combines security and scalability, you're prepared for the future. Systems grow without creating new vulnerabilities.
Enterprise Architecture Consulting with concentrates
Strategy without execution has little impact—especially in security. concentrade guides you through every phase: from current-state assessment to design to the rollout of robust safeguards. We combine established frameworks with modern Zero-Trust principles, always treating security as an enabler of innovation, never a brake.
IT Governance
Effective IT governance forms the foundation of a secure, compliant, and strategically aligned IT landscape. It ensures that IT structures are optimally aligned with business goals, risks are minimized, and compliance requirements are met. concentrade supports companies in establishing tailored IT governance structures – for enhanced control, security, and business success.
IT Optimization
Efficient IT optimization not only increases the performance of your IT systems, but also ensures smooth processes, lower costs, and greater innovation capacity. concentrade supports companies in effectively analyzing their IT structures and processes, identifying weaknesses, and implementing tailored solutions. This way, your IT shifts from a cost factor to a true competitive advantage.
ZTNA
Access rights are a central lever for IT security – and one of the most frequently underestimated. Especially in modern infrastructures with cloud services, remote work, and flexible teams, traditional access concepts are increasingly reaching their limits. The principle of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) addresses this issue by creating an access control that is based on verifiable criteria rather than assumptions. This way, companies gain more control and transparency over their network accesses while simultaneously reducing the potential attack surface for cybercriminals.
Architecture Brings Clarity—and Protects Your Investment
Undocumented interfaces, scattered solutions, audit pain—lack of architectural overview drives costs and risk upward. A consistent, security-oriented model delivers transparency and predictability. Because protection is built in, not bolted on, decisions become resilient and audits straightforward.
Clear Structures Enable Smart Choices
Rather than tool chaos, you get a well-mapped landscape that guides IT, business, and leadership alike. You see where to modernise, retire, or bundle investments—saving on licences, shortening projects, and reducing training overhead.
Step-by-Step Optimisation With Real Value
Transformation needn’t be a “big bang.” Iterative, prioritised improvements deliver quick wins and long-term change at a pace that fits your organisation. concentrade supplies roadmaps, technology matches, and a pragmatic eye for what’s achievable.
When Architecture Consulting Pays Off
Enterprise Architecture adds the most value when complexity, change, or uncertainty dominate—e.g.:
Grown-up sprawl -
nobody recalls which system talks to which, shadow IT flourishes, and every new app raises risk.
Stalled digital initiatives—
tools and platforms won’t integrate, data won’t flow, and departments lose faith in IT.
Cloud migration without a map—
no overview of services, data, or processes, so the move becomes a black box of side effects.
Rising compliance risk—
opaque data flows and roles hinder audits and open doors to attackers.
Costs up, value flat—
spending climbs yet performance lags; IT is viewed as a cost centre, not an enabler.
Enterprise Architecture Consulting doesn’t just expose these issues—it resolves them systematically, turning reactive firefighting into strategic progress.
