STRIDE Threat Checklist
Generate a STRIDE-based checklist for APIs, platforms, and data workflows.
Which STRIDE prompts should this workload answer before it is called secure enough?
How to use it
- Set the assumptions on the left until they match the workload you are reviewing.
- Validate the structured result, metrics, and recommendations before exporting.
- Copy or export the artifact directly into the design doc, ticket, runbook, or review packet.
What you leave with
- A STRIDE-aligned checklist scoped to the selected workload type.
- Extra prompts for public exposure and sensitive-data handling.
- An output teams can use directly in design reviews and security sign-off.

- S: Strong caller authentication and token validation - T: Request signing, input validation, and immutable audit trails - R: Centralized request logs and actor attribution - I: Field-level access controls and encryption in transit - D: Rate limiting, circuit breakers, and autoscaling policies - E: Least-privilege scopes and admin segregation - Exposure: Review abuse throttling, bot mitigation, and edge-layer logging. - Sensitive data: Validate encryption, retention, redaction, and evidence access paths.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before they adopt this workflow.
When should teams use STRIDE Threat Checklist?
This tool is most useful when the team needs a fast, reviewable answer before moving into a larger design, documentation, or governance workflow.
Who usually benefits most from STRIDE Threat Checklist?
Architects, platform teams, and technical leads get the most value because they need a clear artifact they can copy into reviews, runbooks, tickets, and stakeholder updates.
How does STRIDE Threat Checklist connect back to Architecto?
The free surface reduces friction. Once the team needs richer diagrams, review automation, or documentation outputs, the matching Architecto feature takes over without changing the workflow language.
