ThreatModeler — design-phase threat modelling, facilitated by Passeca

Find architectural flaws before code is written — the cheapest security control you will ever buy. Passeca facilitates the workshops, builds the models, and operationalises the findings.

ThreatModeler is a threat-modelling platform for the design phase. It models a system architecture, automatically identifies threats against it, and produces prioritised mitigations before code is written. Passeca facilitates the workshops, builds and maintains the models, and translates threats into development tasks — making threat modelling a running practice rather than a one-off document.

The product

What does ThreatModeler do?

The cheapest security control you will ever buy.

ThreatModeler lets a team model an application or system's architecture — components, data flows, trust boundaries — and then automatically enumerates the threats against it using established methodologies. The output is a prioritised set of threats with recommended mitigations, produced while the design is still on a whiteboard or in a diagram tool.

The economics are decisive. An architectural flaw caught at design costs an hour to fix; the same flaw caught in production costs an incident. Threat modelling is the highest-leverage, lowest-cost security activity in the lifecycle — which is exactly why it is so often recommended and so rarely done well.

The partnership

What Passeca adds

Facilitation, operationalisation, and translation into development tasks.

A tool does not run a threat-modelling practice; people do. Passeca's security experts facilitate threat-modelling workshops with engineering teams — asking the right questions about trust boundaries, data flows and attack surfaces — build and maintain the models in ThreatModeler, and translate the identified threats into concrete development tasks with owners.

Passeca also operationalises threat modelling into the secure SDLC: the threats flow into development priorities, are validated later by Aikido SAST/SCA and penetration testing, and any with operational manifestations become detections tracked in PassIRP.

Audience

Who is ThreatModeler + Passeca for?

Engineering teams that want to catch flaws at design time.

  • SaaS and technology companies building new systems and features continuously.
  • NIS2 and ISO 27001 scoped organisations needing secure-by-design evidence.
  • OT and critical-infrastructure builders subject to IEC 62443 design requirements.
Buying

How to buy ThreatModeler through Passeca

From scoping to a running threat-modelling practice.

Request a workshop through /contact/demo. Passeca scopes the systems to model, facilitates the initial threat-modelling sessions, builds the models in ThreatModeler, and can operate an ongoing practice — refreshing models as systems evolve and tracking mitigations to closure.

FAQ

ThreatModeler and Passeca, answered

The questions engineering and security leaders ask about design-phase threat modelling.

What is ThreatModeler?
ThreatModeler is a threat-modelling platform for the design phase of software and systems. It models an application or system architecture, automatically identifies the threats against it using established frameworks, and produces prioritised mitigations — before code is written.
Why threat-model at design time?
Because finding an architectural flaw on a whiteboard costs an hour, while finding it in production costs an incident. Threat modelling is the cheapest security control an organisation will buy: it surfaces design-level weaknesses — broken trust boundaries, missing authentication, insecure data flows — when they are still inexpensive to fix.
What does Passeca add to ThreatModeler?
Facilitation, operationalisation, and integration with the secure SDLC. Passeca's experts facilitate threat-modelling workshops with engineering teams, build and maintain the models in ThreatModeler, translate threats into development tasks, and track mitigations to closure.
How is threat modelling different from penetration testing?
Threat modelling happens at design time and finds architectural flaws before code exists. Penetration testing happens against running systems and finds implementation flaws. They are complementary: threat modelling shapes the design, penetration testing validates the build.
Does threat modelling satisfy compliance requirements?
Yes. Several frameworks explicitly require or strongly imply threat-based risk assessment at design — including ISO 27001 (Annex A 8.25, 8.27), NIS2 (security-by-design measures), and sector-specific standards like IEC 62443 for OT. ThreatModeler produces the artefact that demonstrates compliance.
How does ThreatModeler fit the Passeca stack?
Threat modelling is the design-time entry point of the secure SDLC: it flows into secure development (Aikido SAST/SCA) and is validated later by penetration testing. Threats identified in ThreatModeler that have operational manifestations can be tracked as detections in PassIRP.
Who is ThreatModeler + Passeca for?
Engineering organisations building software or systems who want to catch architectural flaws early — SaaS companies, FinTechs, and any team subject to secure-by-design obligations under NIS2, ISO 27001 or sector standards.
How do I buy ThreatModeler through Passeca?
Request a demo through /contact/demo. Passeca scopes the systems to model, facilitates the initial threat-modelling workshops, builds the models in ThreatModeler, and can operate an ongoing threat-modelling practice as part of a secure SDLC.
