What is ISO/IEC 24143?

Blueprint for a Secure and Resilient Enterprise

ISO/IEC 24143 defines the concepts and principles of Information Security Architecture (ISA) as a part of overall enterprise architecture. It offers a high-level framework to design, implement, and manage security capabilities across people, processes, and technologies.

Key components covered include:

  1. Security domains and architecture layers (business, information, application, technology)
  2. Security capabilities and services
  3. Governance and lifecycle integration
  4. Alignment with enterprise goals, IT strategy, and risk management
  5. Interoperability with standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, TOGAF, and SABSA

This standard ensures that information security is embedded into the core architecture—not added as an afterthought.

Why is ISO/IEC 24143 important?

Because Ad-Hoc Security Is No Longer Enough

ISO 24143 enables organizations to build secure-by-design architectures, align security strategy with enterprise goals, and manage risk proactively.

Architect for Resilience

Develop security as a fundamental layer in your enterprise architecture—not just at the perimeter.

Enable Business–Security Alignment

Ensure security capabilities support and enable business needs, rather than hinder them.

Integrate Governance and Risk

Embed governance, risk, and compliance into architectural decisions and security operations.

Streamline Complexity

Provide a structured approach to managing security across hybrid environments, cloud, and digital ecosystems.

Enhance Interoperability

Harmonize with existing frameworks and architectures for seamless implementation.
