Threat Modelling Services
The cheapest vulnerability to fix is the one that never gets built. Threat modelling identifies security flaws at the design stage — before a single line of code is written. It answers the question: what could go wrong, and how do we prevent it?
What Is Threat Modelling?
Threat modelling is a structured approach to identifying security requirements and potential threats early in the development lifecycle. It involves mapping system architecture, identifying trust boundaries, and systematically analysing each component for potential attack vectors.
We use established methodologies — STRIDE for component-level threat identification, PASTA for risk-centric analysis aligned with business objectives, and attack trees for complex scenarios requiring multi-step exploitation analysis. The methodology depends on the context; the rigour does not change.
What’s Covered
Threat modelling across domains.
Application Threat Modelling
Architecture diagrams analysed for authentication, authorisation, input validation, encryption, and session management threats. Covers web, mobile, API, and microservice architectures.
Infrastructure Threat Modelling
Network architecture, cloud topology, and hybrid environments analysed for segmentation gaps, trust boundary violations, lateral movement paths, and data flow exposure.
Business Process Modelling
Business logic and process flows analysed for fraud vectors, data handling violations, and compliance gaps. Useful for financial services, healthcare, and regulated industries.
SDLC Integration
Threat modelling workshops embedded into your development process. Train your teams to model threats during design reviews. Build the capability internally while we provide expert guidance.
Trust Boundary Analysis
Identifying where trust changes — user to application, application to database, internal to external. Every trust boundary is a potential attack surface.
Documentation & Tracking
Threat models documented with diagrams, threat lists, and mitigations. Tracked alongside development sprints. New threats identified as architecture evolves.
Our Approach
Collaborative workshops, practical output.
Architecture Review
We review your system architecture, data flows, and trust boundaries with your development and architecture teams. Understanding the system is prerequisite to finding threats in it.
Threat Identification
Using STRIDE, PASTA, or attack trees (depending on context), we systematically identify threats across trust boundaries, data flows, and components. Interactive workshops with your team.
Risk Analysis & Mitigation
Each threat rated by likelihood and impact. Mitigation strategies proposed — architectural changes, control additions, or accepted risks with documented rationale.
Output & Integration
Threat model delivered with diagrams, threat register, and mitigation backlog. Findings integrated into your sprint planning or development roadmap. Follow-up review at each architecture milestone.
Why Bravix Threat Modelling?
Offensive Perspective
Our threat models come from consultants who exploit systems for a living. They know which design flaws lead to real compromises, not just theoretical risks.
Collaborative Workshops
We facilitate, not dictate. Your development teams participate, learn the methodology, and build the capability to model threats independently. Knowledge transfer is part of the engagement.
SDLC Embedded
Threat modelling is not a one-off exercise. We design programmes that integrate into your existing development process, so threats are modelled at every significant design change.
Practical Output
You get actionable threats with concrete mitigations, not abstract risk ratings. Threats feed into your development backlog as user stories or technical debt items.
Model Your Threats Early
Identify design-level flaws before they become production vulnerabilities. Embed threat modelling into your SDLC.
