Can it help with compliance requirements like SOC 2 or HIPAA?

Yes, it includes framework mapping to NIST CSF and CIS Controls, which provide the architectural foundation necessary to meet various regulatory and compliance standards.

How does this skill help with threat modeling?

It provides structured methodologies like STRIDE and PASTA to identify, prioritize, and mitigate potential system vulnerabilities systematically during the design phase.

What is the benefit of the Zero Trust approach in this skill?

It helps you implement 'never trust, always verify' principles, ensuring every access request is continuously authenticated and authorized regardless of its origin.

Does this replace tactical security tools like scanners?

No, it complements them. While scanners find specific vulnerabilities, this skill focuses on high-level architecture, defense-in-depth layers, and long-term security governance.

Security & Testing

Architects comprehensive security frameworks using defense-in-depth, zero trust principles, and strategic threat modeling.

About

This skill empowers Claude to design, audit, and govern robust security architectures for modern software systems. It provides high-level strategic guidance on implementing multi-layered defense-in-depth strategies, zero trust environments, and rigorous threat modeling methodologies like STRIDE and PASTA. By mapping security controls to industry-standard frameworks such as NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001, it ensures that applications are built on a foundation of resilience and compliance, covering everything from identity management to supply chain security.
