Threat Modeling
We can help you map potential cybersecurity risks in your systems.

Know Where You’re Exposed
Threat modeling shows how attackers could target your systems, and what to do about it.
Whether you're developing a product, managing complex infrastructure, or working with third parties, we help you identify risks early, prioritize fixes, and support compliance with standards like ISO 27001, IEC 62443, and FDA guidance.
What You Get
A threat model gives you clear, actionable insight into your system’s weak points. You’ll walk away with:
- A prioritized list of attack paths and technical risks
- Practical input for design, development, or mitigation
- Risk-based decisions that align with your architecture
- Documentation that supports compliance efforts
- Greater team alignment on what to fix, and why
Whether you’re designing a new product or reviewing an existing system, we help you make smarter, faster security decisions.
How It Works
We tailor each threat modeling engagement to your system, but most follow this structure:
01
Scoping & Intake
We define the target (application, product, or system), and align on goals, depth of analysis, and methodology.
02
System Mapping
Together, we map how the system works, using architecture diagrams, data flows, and components.
03
Threat Identification
We explore how attacks could happen using proven methods like STRIDE, attack trees, or MITRE’s ATTandCK™, adapted to your context.
04
Risk Evaluation
We assess the impact and likelihood of each threat, using practical scoring models to help prioritize what to fix first.
05
Reporting & Follow-up
You get a clear set of findings and next steps. We also offer follow-up workshops to help your team take action.
Methodologies We Use
We combine recognized industry frameworks with sector-specific knowledge. Depending on your goals, we may use:
- STRIDE – A structured method to uncover six common threat categories.
- MITRE ATTandCK™ – A dynamic framework detailing real-world adversary behavior.
- Unified Kill Chain – Developed by our expert Paul Pols, combining multiple models to map attacker progression.
- Attack Trees – Visual breakdowns of attack paths, showing how attackers could reach a goal.
- Custom Methods – We’ve developed specialized approaches for automotive, medical, and industrial systems.
The best method depends on your system, industry, and threat landscape, and we decide that together, during intake.
Example: Medical Device Threat Modeling
Medical Device Threat Modeling: Focus on patient safety, reliability, and compliance.
Medical devices have unique risks. Threat modeling helps you understand how attackers could disrupt functionality, impact patient data, or compromise safety.
We align with IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and FDA cybersecurity guidance. Whether you're securing embedded software, wireless communication, or cloud-connected platforms, we help you identify and reduce risks across the entire product lifecycle.
