THREAT MODELLING

Design Out Attacks Before They Ship.

Plaidnox threat modelling sessions bring structured analysis, offensive expertise, and actionable outputs so teams can prioritize mitigations within the same sprint. No generic templates—just practical guidance tied to your architecture.

Security-by-Design Decisions

Embed threat thinking into architecture reviews, product sprints, and cloud transformations.

Unified Attack Path Mapping

Visualize critical assets, trust boundaries, and choke points across hybrid and multicloud estates.

Cross-Team Alignment

Bring product, engineering, and security stakeholders into the same model to prioritize mitigations.

Methodology

Opinionated Playbooks Built on Proven Frameworks

We adapt STRIDE, PASTA, and ATT&CK elements into practical canvases your engineers can own. Every session ends with prioritized actions and measurable owners.

STRIDE & PASTA Templates

Rapid canvases tailored to web, API, mobile, and data platforms with Plaidnox facilitators guiding each stage.

Kill Chain & ATT&CK Mapping

Translate model outputs into MITRE ATT&CK techniques, adversary profiles, and detection engineering backlogs.

Cloud Native Patterns

AWS, Azure, and GCP reference architectures covering identity, data, and containerized workloads.

Workshop Flow

01

Context Intake

Gather architecture diagrams, data classifications, backlog items, and business objectives.

02

Model & Prioritize

Facilitated whiteboarding to document assets, threat actors, attack paths, and abuse cases.

03

Control Mapping

Map mitigations to policies, detective controls, and backlog work with measurable owners.

04

Roadmap & Evidence

Deliver playbooks, diagrams, and executive-ready findings for compliance or customer assurance.

Where It Helps Most

Threat Modelling for Every Initiative

Product & Feature Launches

Shift-left workshops embedded in design reviews to harden new capabilities before code freeze.

Cloud & Data Platforms

Model microservices, serverless functions, and data pipelines to stop lateral movement and data theft.

Compliance & Customer Assessments

Provide tangible threat modelling evidence for SOC 2, ISO, and enterprise security questionnaires.

Deliverables & Evidence

  • Threat model diagrams with trust boundaries and data flows
  • Prioritized list of abuse cases with likelihood and impact scoring
  • Control recommendations aligned to NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS benchmarks
  • Detection engineering cues mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Executive summary plus actionable engineering backlog

Every engagement includes editable diagrams, Miro or FigJam boards, and a remediation-ready backlog so teams can execute immediately.

Make Threat Modelling a Habit, Not a Checkbox.

Plaidnox embeds facilitators, frameworks, and reporting into your existing rituals—architecture reviews, PI planning, customer audits—so threat modelling delivers real outcomes.
