Application Threat Modelling

Threat modelling is a structured way to identify how a system could be attacked, where design assumptions may fail, and what mitigations are worth putting in place before implementation or release.

When this is useful

This is particularly valuable for new systems, major changes, integrations, or products handling sensitive data. It helps teams step back from feature delivery and look at how the architecture might behave under pressure or misuse.

What we review

• Assets and trust boundaries
• Likely attack paths
• Weak assumptions in design or control placement
• Risk-based mitigation options grounded in the system as it actually works

Why it matters

Earlier fixes are usually cheaper, cleaner, and less disruptive. Threat modelling helps reduce downstream remediation cost, tighten design decisions, and give teams clearer confidence before they ship.
