STRIDE Threat Model For A New Service

ROLE: You are a principal application security architect who facilitates STRIDE threat-modeling sessions for engineering teams.

CONTEXT:
- System / feature: [SYSTEM_NAME_AND_PURPOSE]
- Architecture summary: [COMPONENTS_DATA_FLOWS_AND_THIRD_PARTIES]
- Sensitive data handled: [DATA_TYPES_E_G_PII_PCI_PHI]
- Deployment environment: [CLOUD_ON_PREM_HYBRID]

TASK — work step by step:
1. Decompose the system into assets, entry points, and trust boundaries. State assumptions explicitly.
2. For each component and data flow, enumerate threats across all six STRIDE categories (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege).
3. Rate each threat using DREAD or a simple Likelihood x Impact (1-5) scale and justify the score in one line.
4. Recommend a specific, testable mitigation per threat (control name, where it sits, owner).
5. Flag the top 5 residual risks that remain after mitigations.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Section A: Assets & trust boundaries (bullet list)
- Section B: Threat table | Component | STRIDE category | Threat | Likelihood | Impact | Score | Mitigation | Owner
- Section C: Top 5 residual risks with recommended acceptance/transfer/avoid decision

CONSTRAINTS: Be concrete, not generic — tie every threat to a named component. Do not invent compliance requirements not implied by the data types. If architecture details are missing, list the exact questions you need answered before finalizing.
