Can this skill help with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance?

Yes, by providing structured threat identification, risk assessment, and mitigation documentation, this skill supports the evidence-gathering and proactive security requirements of major compliance frameworks.

How does DREAD scoring help prioritize security tasks?

DREAD quantifies risk by averaging scores for Damage, Reproducibility, Exploitability, Affected Users, and Discoverability, allowing teams to objectively prioritize critical vulnerabilities over low-impact issues.

What are trust boundaries in threat modeling?

Trust boundaries are points where data or control transitions between different levels of trust, such as an internet-facing API communicating with an internal database, and are critical focus areas for security analysis.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Implements systematic security frameworks like STRIDE and DREAD to identify, analyze, and mitigate threats during system design.

Acerca de

The Threat Modeling Techniques skill provides a comprehensive framework for proactive security analysis within your development workflow. By utilizing industry-standard methodologies such as STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege) and Attack Trees, it enables developers and architects to visualize potential vulnerabilities and map data flows across trust boundaries. Whether you are conducting a security architecture review, planning a new feature, or preparing for compliance audits like SOC 2, this skill helps prioritize risks using DREAD scoring and design effective countermeasures before a single line of code is written.
