Foundations
Security architecture begins with a coherent set of foundational principles. This section covers the conceptual and methodological bedrock on which every other domain in this wiki builds.

| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Secure System Design | Defence-in-depth, least privilege, fail-secure, and architectural patterns |
| DARIOM Lifecycle | Detect, Analyse, React, Investigate, Operate, and Monitor |
| Zero Trust Principles | Never trust, always verify — the conceptual framework |
| Time-Based Security | Exposure time, detection velocity, and response windows |
Why foundations matter
Without shared principles, security controls become siloed point-solutions that fail under adversarial pressure. Architectural thinking ties controls together into a coherent posture that can be reasoned about, audited, and improved.
