Threat Modeling
Use product design and data flows to identify credible abuse paths early. Workshops produce decisions engineers can act on, rather than a list of generic threats.
01
Focus area
Diagram actors, assets, and data movement
02
Focus area
Identify abuse cases and trust boundary failures
03
Focus area
Prioritize mitigations with product owners

Threat model
Overview
Product teams making decisions about credible abuse paths
For product, engineering, and security teams making design decisions before a feature or integration becomes costly to change.
- Threat model
- Mitigation decisions
- Review triggers for future changes
Key considerations01 02
Problems to address
Teams using different assumptions about data sensitivity and trusted actors.
Include administrative access, external services, data exposure, and failure behavior. A threat model is a working design aid and needs updates as the product evolves.
Our Process
How We Work
- 01
Scope & Authorization
Draw the relevant data flows, actors, assets, and trust boundaries together.
- 02
Architecture & Evidence
Explore realistic misuse scenarios and rank the resulting risks in context.
- 03
Assessment & Findings
Facilitate threat workshops and map realistic abuse cases to engineering mitigations.
- 04
Remediation & Verification
Review attack scenarios with engineers and check that proposed controls address each selected threat.
- 05
Handover & Follow-up
Maintain the model with product changes, new integrations, and revised trust boundaries.
Tech Stack
Technologies We Master

Frequently asked questions
Do we need a finished system?
No. Early diagrams and intended workflows can support a first session. Uncertain design choices should be recorded as assumptions to revisit.
Is threat modeling only for security teams?
No. Product owners and engineers provide the workflow and implementation context needed to make the result useful.
