XTRIKE Desk Note
Live Data Flow Diagrams and STRIDE architecture invariants stay current. The six threat modeling studios below form the deterministic design verification desk. A STRIDE score measures boundary controls—it is an architectural proof, not a speculative checklist.
Each architectural data flow is evaluated against all six STRIDE categories. Open the STRIDE Checklist or inspect the multi-hop Attack Chain to bind compensating controls to `DFD v4.2`.
The architecture first: STRIDE studios & attack trees
Data Flow Diagram boundary checks, multi-hop exploit chain simulations, MITRE CAPEC adversary mappings, and OPA/Terraform policy guardrails. Each studio below opens a dedicated verification desk.
Interactive STRIDE Checklist & Compliance Desk
Audit Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege controls mapped directly to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and PCI-DSS.
Cross-Platform Attack Chain & RAG Correlator
Interactive multi-hop architecture graph connecting Client Portal, API Gateway, Auth Service, and PostgreSQL Crown Jewels with cross-platform SAST/API/Container telemetry.
STRIDE Risk Identification & Taxonomy Studio
Automated decomposition of microservices, trust boundaries, and data stores into categorized STRIDE threat vectors with severity scoring and mitigation SLAs.
Interactive Data Flow Diagram (DFD) Studio
Inspect external entities, processes, data stores, and trust boundaries. Automatically flags unencrypted cross-boundary flows and missing mTLS sidecar policies.
Attack Tree Decision Simulator & Choke-Points
Calculates minimum-cost adversary paths from initial phishing or public endpoint exploitation to crown-jewel database exfiltration, highlighting high-leverage choke-points.
MITRE ATT&CK & CAPEC Adversary Pattern Bridge
Aligns architectural weaknesses with MITRE CAPEC attack patterns (CAPEC-66, CAPEC-122) and ATT&CK techniques (T1190, T1078) with exportable SIEM detection rules.
STRIDE Threat Taxonomy & Guardrail Coverage
Mapped to MITRE CAPEC, SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS 4.0 controls.
