Identify Application Vulnerabilities Before Attackers
Threat Modeling Services
Secure your applications from the start with expert-led threat modeling. Bishop Fox helps you uncover design flaws, align DevSecOps teams, and create future-proof models using the STRIDE framework and real-world attacker intelligence.
Secure Applications from the Start
Build Secure Software From the Ground Up
Bishop Fox’s Threat Modeling service is built to help you stay ahead of attackers—starting at the earliest stages of development. Rather than bolt on security after the fact, we embed it into your architecture, workflows, and culture from day one.
Our expert-led process is designed to support fast-paced DevOps teams, ensure security isn’t an afterthought, and create scalable models that evolve with your applications. Here’s how we do it.
We Start With Real-World Risk
Our methodology goes beyond theory. Every engagement combines the industry-standard STRIDE framework with threat intelligence from thousands of real-world offensive security engagements. You’ll understand not only what could go wrong—but also how attackers actually exploit systems like yours in the wild.
We Align With Your Teams
Threat modeling only works if it works for everyone. We integrate input from:
- Engineering and DevOps teams
- Application architects and project managers
- Security leadership
- Business stakeholders
This cross-functional buy-in ensures the threat model reflects real objectives, avoids bottlenecks, and drives long-term adoption.
We Tailor the Process to You
Your application, threat landscape, and compliance needs are unique—and so is your threat model. That’s why we offer flexible engagement options that adapt to your organization’s:
- Risk profile – Prioritizing threats that could impact your critical data and operations
- Compliance needs – Mapping controls to frameworks like NIST, ISO, PCI, and more
- Development velocity – Supporting agile release cycles without slowing down delivery
Whether you need a high-level model or a deep dive into architecture and code, we match the depth to your goals.
We Build Models You Can Actually Use
A threat model is only valuable if it’s actionable and sustainable. Our deliverables include:
- Clear, accurate dataflow diagrams that map trust boundaries and key processes
- STRIDE-based threat enumeration tied to specific components
- Prioritized mitigation recommendations—both tactical (immediate fixes) and strategic (architectural improvements)
- Finalized models reviewed and validated by stakeholders
These models are designed for reuse across future projects, so security becomes a habit—not a one-off exercise.
How It Works: Our Threat Modeling Process
Our systematic approach provides full visibility into your application design and threat landscape:
1 - Analyze Application Design
Review architecture, processes, and documentation.
2 - Map Dataflows and Trust Boundaries
Identify how sensitive data moves through the system and where risks emerge.
3 - Conduct STRIDE Threat Enumeration
Highlight vulnerabilities where data crosses trust boundaries.
4 - Recommend Mitigations
Suggest tactical and strategic defenses tied to your environment.
5 - Deliver a Reusable, Validated Threat Model
Equip your teams with a stakeholder-approved model to guide future development.
