Application Architecture & Threat Modeling
Proactively identify and mitigate design flaws and security risks before a single line of code is written.
Overview
Why this assessment matters.
Threat Modeling is a structured approach to identifying, quantifying, and addressing security risks associated with an application or system architecture. We work with your engineering teams during the design phase to create data flow diagrams, identify trust boundaries, and enumerate potential threats using frameworks like STRIDE. By identifying architectural flaws early, you prevent costly redesigns and build security inherently into the application from day one.
Capabilities
What we evaluate
01
STRIDE Methodology
Systematic identification of Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege threats.
02
Data Flow Diagrams (DFD)
Visual mapping of data movement and trust boundaries.
03
Security by Design
Embedding security controls into the fundamental architecture of the application.
Methodology
Assessment phases
A structured, repeatable methodology to ensure comprehensive coverage of the attack surface.
01 - Decompose Application
Mapping architecture, components, data flows, and trust boundaries.
02 - Identify Threats
Brainstorming and enumerating potential threats using structured methodologies.
03 - Determine Countermeasures
Defining specific security controls and mitigations to address identified threats.
04 - Documentation & Review
Providing a comprehensive threat model document and actionable security requirements.

FAQ
Common questions
When is the best time to do Threat Modeling?
The ideal time is during the design and architecture phase, before implementation begins. However, it can also be performed retrospectively on existing systems.
What outputs will we receive?
You will receive data flow diagrams, a prioritized list of identified threats, and recommended mitigations to integrate into your backlog.
Is this a one-time exercise?
Threat models should be living documents, updated whenever significant architectural changes or new features are introduced.
