    • Summary statement
    Security Architects design, review, test and assure the technical environment, solution designs and solution implementations in accordance with current and emerging security best practice. They contribute to the technical architecture and security policies and practices.

    Mission
    Security Architects design, review, test and assure the technical environment, solution designs and solution implementations in accordance with current and emerging security best practice. They contribute to the technical architecture and security policies and practices.

    Main task/s
    • Interprets relevant security policies and threat/risk profiles into secure architectural solutions that mitigate the risks and conform to legislation and relate to business needs.
    • Applies common architectural frameworks (e.g. TOGAF, SABSA).
    • Presents security architecture solutions as a view within broader IT architectures.
    • Maintains awareness of the security advantages and vulnerabilities of common products and technologies. Designs robust and fault-tolerant security mechanisms and components appropriate to the perceived risks.
    • Develops and implements appropriate methodologies, templates, patterns and frameworks.
    • Summary statement
    Ensure the cybercriminal investigation reveals all digital evidence to prove the malicious activity.

    Mission
    Connects artefacts to natural persons, captures, recovers, identifies and preserves data, including manifestations, inputs, outputs and processes of digital systems under investigation. Provides analysis, reconstruction and interpretation of the digital evidence based on a qualitative opinion. Presents an unbiased qualitative view without interpreting the resultant findings.

    Main task/s
    • Develop digital forensics investigation policy, plans and procedures
    • Identify, recover, extract, document and analyse digital evidence
    • Preserve and protect digital evidence and make it available to authorised stakeholders
    • Inspect environments for evidence of unauthorised and unlawful actions
    • Systematically and deterministic document, report and present digital forensic analysis findings and results
    • Select and customise forensics testing, analysing and reporting techniques
    • Summary statement
    Assess the effectiveness of security controls, reveals and utilise cybersecurity vulnerabilities, assessing their criticality if exploited by threat actors.

    Mission
    Plans, designs, implements and executes penetration testing activities and attack scenarios to evaluate the effectiveness of deployed or planned security measures. Identifies vulnerabilities or failures on technical and organisational controls that affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of ICT products (e.g. systems, hardware, software and services).

    Main task/s
    • Identify, analyse and assess technical and organisational cybersecurity vulnerabilities
    • Identify attack vectors, uncover and demonstrate exploitation of technical cybersecurity vulnerabilities
    • Test systems and operations compliance with regulatory standards
    • Select and develop appropriate penetration testing techniques
    • Organise test plans and procedures for penetration testing
    • Establish procedures for penetration testing result analysis and reporting
    • Document and report penetration testing results to stakeholders
    • Deploy penetration testing tools and test programs
