Sabsa Vs Togaf __full__ -

| Feature | SABSA | TOGAF | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Security Architecture. Focuses on risk management, security policy, and aligning security with business needs. | Enterprise Architecture (EA). Focuses on the overall structure of an organization, including business, data, applications, and technology. | | Core Methodology | Risk-Driven. Every architectural decision is justified by a risk analysis. | Process-Driven. Follows the Architecture Development Method (ADM), a step-by-step process for developing architectures. | | Scope | Specialized. While it covers the enterprise, its lens is specifically through security and assurance. | Holistic. Covers all domains of an enterprise (Business, Data, App, Tech). Security is treated as a "vertical" or phase within the cycle. | | Key Model | The SABSA Matrix . A 6-layer model (Contextual, Conceptual, Logical, Physical, Component, Operational) mapped against 6 columns (Assets, Motivation, Process, People, Location, Time). | The Architecture Development Method (ADM) . A cyclic process of 10 phases (Preliminary to Requirements Management) that guides the development of the enterprise architecture. | | Business Alignment | "Business Attributes" are central. Security controls are mapped directly to specific business attributes (e.g., "Customer Trust," "Regulatory Compliance"). | "Architecture Vision." Uses the Statement of Architecture Work and Business Scenarios to ensure IT aligns with business goals. |

| Scenario | Recommended | |----------|--------------| | You need a complete enterprise architecture framework (business, data, app, tech, plus governance). | | | You are designing or auditing a security architecture from scratch. | SABSA | | Your organization already uses TOGAF and needs to add rigorous security architecture. | SABSA + TOGAF (embed SABSA into ADM) | | You are a security architect in a non‑enterprise‑architecture mature org. | SABSA (lightweight) | | You need a common framework to align multiple teams (business, IT, security, operations). | TOGAF (with security cross‑cutting) | sabsa vs togaf

In the high-tech kingdom of Enterprise Architecture, there were two legendary architects who, though they worked in the same castle, saw the world through very different lenses. | Feature | SABSA | TOGAF | |

Each layer answers Who, Why, When, Where, How, What for security. Focuses on the overall structure of an organization,

| Aspect | SABSA | TOGAF | |--------|-------|-------| | | Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture | The Open Group Architecture Framework | | Primary Focus | Security architecture (risk‑driven, business‑centric) | Enterprise architecture (holistic, cross‑domain) | | Core Philosophy | “Security by design, not bolt‑on” – security as an enabler for business | “Structured method for designing, planning, implementing, and governing enterprise architecture” | | Key Output | Security architecture artifacts (policies, standards, controls, metrics) | Enterprise architecture deliverables (architectures, roadmaps, governance frameworks) | | Origin | Mid‑1990s, John Sherwood | Mid‑1990s, The Open Group (based on TAFIM) |
