Why teams pick ThreatModel
Threat modelling is universally recommended and universally under-practised. The reason is practical: the traditional approach requires gathering the development team, a security engineer, and a whiteboard for two days — a meeting that most teams cannot schedule and most security engineers cannot staff across all the projects that need it.
ThreatModel makes threat modelling something an individual engineer can do in an afternoon. You draw your architecture in the tool, assign component types, draw trust boundaries, and the STRIDE analysis runs automatically. The output is not a final answer — it is a structured starting point that a security review refines, rather than a blank whiteboard that a security review fills.
The Jira integration is the capability that makes findings actionable. A threat model document that sits in Confluence is not a security programme. Threat model findings that become tracked tickets in the sprint board are. ThreatModel creates tickets from unmitigated threats with the threat description, suggested mitigation, and risk score pre-filled.
Who it is for
ThreatModel is used by development teams doing security design review as part of their SDLC, security teams that need to scale threat modelling across more projects than they have engineers for, and organisations with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirements for documented threat analysis.
