Reconfiguration of security requirements for deployed components of applications

Method and system are provided for reconfiguration of security requirements for deployed components of applications. The method includes referencing a deployed application wherein the application is divided into processing components, which can be deployed in different locations. The method adds one or more application resources for the deployed application to a central repository with references to the processing components of the deployed application utilizing the resources. The method further involves: receiving an update to an application resource to modify a security requirement for the resource; checking the deployment locations of the processing components of deployed applications referenced to the updated application resource to ensure the processing components conform to the modified security requirement; and taking an action for each referenced processing component of the deployed application that does not conform to the modified security requirement.
