Threat model
Related service Cybersecurity
DEFINITION
A structured exercise that walks the system's actors, attack surface, risks, and controls. Day one of every DField project · before any code.
- Penetration test (pentest)→
Manual + tooled attack simulation that reveals what an attacker could achieve. We deliver findings as PRs in your repo, not an 80-page PDF.
- DevSecOps→
Security as a continuously-running CI step (SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC scan), not an annual project. Runs against every push; every sprint closes at least one security bug.
- MFA (Multi-factor auth)→
Two or more factors (TOTP, WebAuthn, biometric) beyond a password. Table-stakes in SaaS today · enterprise procurement disqualifies you without it.
- SOC 2→
A US audit framework for confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy controls. For SaaS, the Type II audit (6-12 months of observation) is the standard enterprise baseline.
- ISO 27001→
International standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Often preferred in Europe instead of or alongside SOC 2. 3-year certification cycle.
- Zero-trust→
A security model where every request is suspect (even from inside the network), and every action needs a separate authorisation check. The opposite of the classic perimeter model.
