Enrique Gallardo
Last position:
Security Architect at Capgemini
I implemented a Zero-Trust architecture for robust, military-grade maritime container mini data centers based on VMware & Tanzu to support containerized GIS workloads for ground forces. The main focus was on securing communications, workload protection, and data access in contested electronic battle environments affected by jamming, interception, signal manipulation, and constantly changing operational conditions. I designed and architected use cases so that every element of workload, identity, and system could continue to operate independently and securely even in degraded or disrupted scenarios. In parallel, I defined the enterprise and solution security architecture with LeanIX, Bizzdesign, and HOPEX as enterprise architecture, repository, and governance platforms to maintain architecture inventory, relationships, traceability, target pictures, and security governance in complex environments. For the architectural designs, I used Sparx Enterprise Architect to describe formal architecture views, interfaces, trust boundaries, and system architecture in both IT and OT environments. IriusRisk was used for threat modeling of the solution to identify architecture-driven risks, derive security requirements, and detect countermeasures and design gaps directly from the solution models. Risk and compliance management was supported with Archer. Architecture decisions, control gaps, and operational risks were translated into controlled governance and auditable compliance measures. For documentation, collaboration, and visual design, I used Confluence to maintain Architecture Decision Records, Security Blueprints, and workflows. I used Lucidchart and draw.io to create design artifacts tailored to stakeholders. I also defined OT security concepts with support from electrical and mechanical engineers in the areas of oil, vehicle onboard systems, rail, power plants, pharma, gas turbines, and nuclear technology. I created the end-to-end OT security strategy, starting with global policy, developed into standards and procedures, and finally aligned with Bell-LaPadula, Purdue Model, SABSA, TOGAF ADM, CENELEC 50701, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. In addition, I worked with engineering team leads to identify critical KBP assets and place them under protective measures that segmented SCADA, PLC, and HMI assets. I drove collaboration between Security, IT, and OT teams to create standardized workflows and use cases for the OT security solution catalog, while integrating Defense-in-Depth and Zero-Trust principles into operational environments. A key part of my work was integrating multidisciplinary engineering, security, and operations stakeholders into a unified security blueprinting strategy and ensuring that architecture, threat modeling, governance, and documentation were technically strong and operationally practical.

About the technology
Enterprise view
ArchiMate is used to describe an enterprise in clear layers and viewpoints. It helps teams show how strategy, business capabilities, applications, and infrastructure fit together. The result is a shared model that is easier to discuss than long documents.
Common work
- Capability maps and value streams
- Application landscape views
- Technology and infrastructure views
- Roadmaps and transition plans
- Impact analysis for change initiatives
Tooling
ArchiMate work often sits inside enterprise architecture tooling such as Archi, Sparx Enterprise Architect, BiZZdesign, and Avolution ABACUS. Strong specialists know how to keep models consistent, readable, and useful for decision-making. They also understand notation, viewpoints, and model governance.
When to bring help
Companies usually bring in freelance ArchiMate experts when an architecture practice needs structure fast. That can include a new target architecture, a merger, a portfolio review, or a cleanup of scattered models. In Germany, this often means working with mixed teams that expect clear English terms and solid workshop support.
What strong specialists do
A strong ArchiMate professional can translate complex systems into simple views that different audiences can use. They know when to model detail and when to stay at the right level for executives, architects, and delivery teams. They also align diagrams with business goals instead of producing shelfware.
Signs you need one
- Architecture diagrams are inconsistent
- Stakeholders use different terms for the same thing
- Roadmaps and dependencies are hard to trace
- Tool models exist, but no one trusts them
- Strategic change needs a clearer enterprise view
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to ArchiMate.
ArchiMate is used to model enterprise architecture in a structured way. It shows how business processes, applications, and technology relate to each other, so teams can plan change with less confusion. Companies use it for current-state views, target-state views, and roadmaps.
ArchiMate is broader than BPMN and UML because it focuses on enterprise architecture, not just process flow or software design. BPMN is better for detailed business processes, and UML is stronger for system and software structure. Many teams use all three together when they need different levels of detail.
A strong ArchiMate specialist should also understand enterprise architecture practice, stakeholder communication, and workshop facilitation. Useful adjacent skills include business capability mapping, application portfolio thinking, and governance. The best experts can turn discussion into a model that people actually use.
For a small cleanup or a single viewpoint set, a focused ArchiMate expert may be enough. For target operating models, portfolio change, or complex transformation work, you usually want someone who has handled architecture across several layers. The key is not only notation knowledge, but judgment.
Yes, most ArchiMate work can be done remotely if the specialist has access to the right stakeholders and documents. Remote sessions work well for interviews, model reviews, and roadmap workshops. On-site time can help when alignment is difficult or many teams need to agree on terms.
A ArchiMate professional often works with modeling tools such as Archi, Sparx Enterprise Architect, BiZZdesign, or Avolution ABACUS. The exact tool matters less than the ability to keep views consistent and understandable. Good specialists can adapt to the tool your team already uses.
Look for clear examples of models that support decisions, not just polished diagrams. A good ArchiMate freelancer can explain why a viewpoint exists, how it supports stakeholders, and how it connects to business goals. Ask how they handle model governance, naming, and scope control.
No, ArchiMate can help any organization that needs a clear view of business and technology change. Smaller teams may use only a few viewpoints, while larger groups may build a full architecture repository. The value comes from clarity, not from size alone.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used ArchiMate in their recent projects is 109 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 872 € based on an 8-hour working day.
