security-audit-methodology

A software architecture security audit systematically identifies and mitigates weaknesses across codebases and operational practices. This framework applies threat modeling, defense-in-depth review, and risk scoring aligned with OWASP and CWE standards.

Threat modeling identifies potential attack vectors using frameworks like STRIDE and LINDDUN. Vulnerability classification then categorizes these threats using CWE references, enabling structured risk scoring and targeted remediation planning across software systems.

Supply-chain security assessment evaluates dependency risks by analyzing external libraries and operational practices. The audit framework applies structured vulnerability classification and reference files to identify and mitigate weaknesses in software dependencies.

Yes, this security audit methodology supports both codebase reviews and architecture evaluation. It systematically identifies weaknesses across software systems, applying architecture-review checklists and defense-in-depth analysis to improve overall security posture.

This security audit framework aligns with OWASP, CWE, and STRIDE/LINDDUN standards. It applies these established methodologies to threat modeling, vulnerability classification, and architecture reviews to prescribe risk scoring and remediation plans.

Automated tools often miss complex architectural flaws and supply-chain risks. This methodology provides structured threat modeling and defense-in-depth review checklists that require systematic manual analysis to identify weaknesses automated scanning cannot detect.
