A starting point was to include all elements of security architecture such as: network, host-based, applications, information, software, hardware, databases and physical elements. Any security architecture should also include principles and process laid out in this paper. Models to capture security architecture and an example are presented. Finally techniques used to capture and assess security architectures are mentioned.
