Threat Model Template

What belongs in a threat model

A practical threat model walks each asset and flow: what can go wrong (spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, elevation of privilege), how exposed it is, and what mitigates it or why the risk is accepted. It's a structured starting point security teams can react to — not a substitute for review.

How Architext builds it

Because Architext already models your components, datastores, and the flows between them, it generates a starter threat model from that graph as part of the solution-architecture document — you review and harden the 20% that needs judgment instead of authoring the 80% scaffolding.

Document, export, and share

Once the document is right, compile the full solution-architecture document, generate an audience-tailored slide deck, export to PNG, SVG, Mermaid, or PowerPoint, or share a read-only link — all from the same model.

FAQ

Is a generated threat model enough?

No — it's a structured starting point grounded in your architecture, meant for review with your security team, not a pentest replacement.

What framework does it follow?

A STRIDE-style walk over assets and flows: threats, exposure, and mitigations or accepted risk.

When should I threat-model?

At design time, before the review gate — it's dramatically cheaper to change the architecture than the deployed system.
