When should I trigger the security threat model skill?

You should use it when designing systems that handle sensitive data, building features like file uploads or payments, or when performing a security review before a major launch.

Can this skill help with HIPAA or PCI DSS compliance?

Yes, it provides structured workflows to identify risks and document controls required for major compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2.

What are trust boundaries in the context of this skill?

Trust boundaries are points where data moves between different levels of trust, such as from an untrusted user to a web server or from an internal network to a third-party API.

Performs systematic security reviews and vulnerability assessments using the STRIDE methodology and trust boundary mapping.

소개

The Security Threat Model skill enables Claude to conduct structured security analyses for systems handling sensitive data such as PII, PHI, and financial records. By mapping system architecture, identifying trust boundaries, and applying the STRIDE framework (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege), this skill helps developers identify risks early in the design phase. It is particularly useful for preparing for compliance audits like PCI DSS or SOC 2, reviewing complex microservices architectures, and establishing defense-in-depth principles across your entire application stack.
