threat-modeling

STRIDE threat analysis identifies and documents security threats for software components by enforcing asset identification, trust boundary mapping, and mitigation mapping for APIs and data stores. It produces a formal threat model and risk register.

Threat modeling with STRIDE systematically identifies security threats across components and trust boundaries. You need it during feature reviews to enable proactive mitigation and ensure secure-by-design practices for inter-service communications.

Generate a threat model document and risk register by running a STRIDE analysis during feature reviews. The output artifacts are produced at docs/specs/{feature-slug}/threat-model.md to ensure traceability and compliance.

Yes, STRIDE threat modeling is applicable to inter-service communications and data stores. It maps trust boundaries between components and generates a risk register to inform mitigations and design decisions.

Yes, mapping trust boundaries is a required step. The process enforces asset identification and trust boundary mapping before generating the formal threat model document and risk register.

The best way to document security threats is using the STRIDE model, which enforces asset identification, trust boundary mapping, and mitigation mapping to produce a formal threat model document and risk register.
