Strategy

Threat Modelling

Map assets, trust boundaries and realistic attack paths before weaknesses become incidents.

Service Overview

A focused technical assessment with clear outcomes

Threat modelling examines how an attacker could interact with an environment, application or business process before testing begins or major changes are deployed. The objective is to identify important assets, trust relationships, likely attack paths and controls that deserve closer attention.

Every engagement begins with an agreed scope, written authorization and clear rules for testing. The exact activities depend on the systems, objectives and constraints established with the client before work begins.

Areas of Focus

What we assess

Testing is tailored to the engagement. Relevant areas can include the following.

Critical assets and sensitive dataIncluded where relevant to the agreed scope, environment and engagement objectives.
Users, identities and privilege boundariesIncluded where relevant to the agreed scope, environment and engagement objectives.
External and internal trust boundariesIncluded where relevant to the agreed scope, environment and engagement objectives.
Entry points and attack surfacesIncluded where relevant to the agreed scope, environment and engagement objectives.
Likely attacker objectives and abuse casesIncluded where relevant to the agreed scope, environment and engagement objectives.
Existing controls and potential control gapsIncluded where relevant to the agreed scope, environment and engagement objectives.
THREAT MODELLING PROCESS

How threats and attack paths are mapped

Threat modelling builds a structured view of what must be protected, who or what could threaten it, and where controls may need to be strengthened.

01
Define the system

Establish the application, process, environment or business function being modelled.

02
Map assets and trust

Identify critical assets, users, dependencies, data flows and trust boundaries.

03
Identify threats

Develop realistic threat scenarios based on how the environment could be abused or attacked.

04
Analyze attack paths

Examine entry points, privilege boundaries and sequences that could lead to meaningful impact.

05
Evaluate controls

Review existing safeguards and identify gaps that require mitigation, validation or deeper testing.

Reporting and Deliverables

Clear findings your team can act on

Reporting is designed for both technical teams and business decision makers. Findings are supported by context and organized so remediation can be prioritized.

Documented threat scenarios
Attack path analysis
Key assets and trust boundaries
Control gap observations
Prioritized mitigation recommendations
Remediation and Validation

From finding to corrective action

NetPhantom does not treat delivery of the report as the end of the conversation. Findings are explained, questions are addressed and remediation priorities are clarified. Where appropriate, retesting can be used to confirm that corrective actions have addressed the validated issue.
