Threat Modelling

Plan Securely. Develop with Confidence.

What is Threat Modelling?

Threat modelling is a structured and proactive approach to identifying, analysing and addressing potential security risks within systems, applications or business processes. It helps organisations think like an attacker, highlighting how vulnerabilities could be exploited, what assets are at risk and what the impact could be.

Conducting threat modelling early in a project, ideally during the design or development phase, helps teams make informed decisions about where to focus their security efforts. It ensures that security is embedded into the foundation of your systems, rather than bolted on later.

Whether you’re launching a new product, deploying cloud infrastructure or strengthening an existing environment, threat modelling provides the visibility and direction needed to reduce risk and improve security outcomes.

Why is Threat Modelling Important?

Threat modelling helps organisations anticipate problems before they arise. It reduces downstream costs and supports more effective, strategic security planning.

It’s important because it:

Identifies Security Risks Early

Spotting potential vulnerabilities and attack paths during planning allows you to put effective controls in place before issues become harder to resolve.

Focuses Security Investments

Not every risk is equal. Threat modelling helps prioritise based on likelihood and potential impact, ensuring time and budget are spent where it matters most.

Improves Communication Across Teams

It brings together development, security and business teams around a shared understanding of threats and how to mitigate them. This clarity drives better decision-making and helps embed security into day-to-day processes.
