Mitigation Priorities
Key Areas We Assess
We analyze the design elements that shape your application's security, working from architecture and data flows rather than live attacks.
Architecture & Components
Services, components, deployment model, and third-party dependencies in the design.
Assets & Sensitive Data
The data, functions, and credentials that matter most to your business.
Data Flows
How data moves between users, services, data stores, and external systems.
Trust Boundaries
Where privilege, network, or ownership changes and controls must hold.
Threats & Abuse Cases
Spoofing, tampering, disclosure, privilege escalation, and misuse scenarios for each element.
Mitigations & Controls
Existing and planned controls, gaps, and residual risk for each threat.
Our Threat Modelling Methodology
A structured, collaborative analysis grounded in your architecture, not in live testing.
Scope & Objectives
Agree the application, features, depth, and expected outcomes for the model.
Documentation Review
Review architecture diagrams, designs, user stories, and data classifications.
Architect Workshops
Walk through the design with architects, developers, and product owners.
System Modelling
Build data flow diagrams with components, data stores, and trust boundaries.
Threat Identification
Identify threats for each element using STRIDE or an agreed framework.
Risk Rating
Rate each threat by likelihood and impact in your business context.
Mitigation Planning
Map threats to existing controls and recommend practical mitigations.
Reporting & Handover
Deliver the threat model, prioritized mitigations, and guidance to keep it current.
Deliverables
Every engagement delivers a threat model your teams can build from and maintain.
Strengthen Your Security Coverage
Turn threat model findings into targeted testing across your applications, APIs, code, and cloud.
Benefits of Application Threat Modelling
Address security risk in the design, where it costs least to fix.
Earlier Risk Reduction
Fix design flaws before they are built into code.
Shared Security Understanding
Give architects, developers, and security one view of risk.
Focused Security Testing
Point later testing at the threats that matter most.
Improved Compliance Readiness
Support secure design evidence for PCI Secure SLC, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.

Frequently Asked Questions
Threat modelling analyzes the design to identify threats and mitigations. It does not attack a running system. Penetration testing later checks whether the built application resists attack.
Ideally when designing a new application, major feature, integration, or migration, and again when the architecture changes significantly.
Architecture diagrams or design documents, and time with architects, developers, and product owners for workshops. We can work from partial documentation.
Commonly STRIDE applied to data flow diagrams, or another framework your teams prefer. The approach is agreed during scoping.
Yes. The model and register are handed over with guidance on updating them as your design changes.
