SABSA Foundation

SABSA stands for Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture and is a framework and methodology for Enterprise Security Architecture and Service Management. SABSA ensures that the security needs of the enterprise are met completely and that security services are designed, delivered, and supported as an integral part of the IT Management infrastructure.

The SABSA model follows closely the work done by John A. Zachman in developing a model for Enterprise Architecture. SABSA is to Security Management what ITIL is to Service Management, PRINCE2 to Project Management and TOGAF to Enterprise Architecture. SABSA is used worldwide by numerous of organisations and governments.
