Threat Modeling: Know It to Protect It
You cannot protect what you do not know. Threat modeling systematically maps every possible way your system can be attacked, so you can build proactive defenses instead of reactive ones.

Frequently Asked Questions About Threat Modeling
Common questions about threat modeling and risk analysis.
Threat modeling is the structured process of identifying, quantifying and prioritizing the threats to a system. Ideally it happens during the design phase, but it is equally valuable for systems already in production. It helps you understand 'what can go wrong' before it does.
PASTA: Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis
A seven-stage, risk-centric methodology that aligns business objectives with technical threat analysis.

Why Does Your Application Need Threat Modeling?
Threat Modeling systematically identifies security threats before attackers exploit them. It is a proactive approach that answers "What can go wrong?" and "How do we protect ourselves?". Companies that do threat modeling reduce critical vulnerabilities by 50% and respond to incidents 3x faster, because they have already mapped their attack vectors and the controls they need.
Key risks of not running a pentest:
Unknown attack surface
Not knowing where you are vulnerable
Misplaced priorities
Investing in controls that do not protect critical assets
Slow incident response
No preparation for real-world attack scenarios
Inadequate compliance
Failing to meet risk management requirements
Our structured Threat Modeling identifies critical assets, maps real threats and defines security controls prioritized by risk, creating an actionable defense roadmap.
How Does Our Threat Modeling Work?
A hybrid methodology: STRIDE + PASTA + Attack Trees for complete coverage:
System Decomposition
1-2 daysVisual mapping of the architecture and data flows:
- Creation of Data Flow Diagrams (DFD)
- Identification of trust boundaries
- Mapping of critical assets and sensitive data
- Cataloging of entry points and interfaces
- Documentation of technologies and dependencies

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our pentest services
1When should I do Threat Modeling?
Ideally during the design phase (before any code). It is also useful for existing systems that have never been analyzed, ahead of critical releases, after significant architectural changes, or for compliance.
2What is the difference between Threat Modeling and a pentest?
Threat Modeling is proactive (it identifies threats in the design) while a pentest is reactive (it exploits vulnerabilities in the running system). Threat Modeling guides WHAT to test; a pentest validates WHETHER you are vulnerable.
3Do I need to know STRIDE and PASTA?
No! We run the entire process. You bring the knowledge of your system and business; we bring the expertise in threat modeling methodologies. It is a collaborative and educational process.
4Do you deliver visual documentation?
Yes! We deliver Data Flow Diagrams (DFD), Attack Trees, a Risk Matrix and a complete report with a threat catalog, recommended controls and an implementation roadmap.
5How long does it take?
From 3-5 days (simple applications) to 15-25 days (enterprise platforms). This includes workshops, analysis and complete documentation.
6Does it help with compliance?
Yes! Threat Modeling meets the risk management requirements of frameworks such as ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIST and LGPD. We provide documented evidence for audits.
7Do you do this for legacy systems?
Yes! Threat Modeling is very useful for legacy systems ahead of modernization or a migration to the cloud. We identify hidden risks and plan a secure migration.
