# Security Requirement Extraction

> Derive security requirements from threat models and business context.

Turns threat models and business context into concrete, testable security requirements, so security stops being a vague afterthought and becomes part of every feature's acceptance criteria. It maps each STRIDE threat category to security domains and requirement patterns, auto-generates user stories, acceptance criteria, and test cases, and ties everything back to compliance frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and OWASP ASVS. You go from 'protect customer data' to traceable requirements like 'encrypt PII at rest with AES-256 and 90-day key rotation.'

## Use cases
- Convert a STRIDE threat model into prioritized security requirements
- Generate security user stories and acceptance criteria for the backlog
- Build security test cases tied to specific threats
- Map requirements to PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and OWASP controls
- Run a compliance gap analysis to find missing or weakly covered controls
- Produce a threat-to-requirement traceability matrix for auditors

## Benefits
- Make security a measurable acceptance criterion instead of a vague goal
- Prioritize requirements by impact and likelihood so critical risks come first
- Prove compliance coverage with traceability back to threats and frameworks
- Catch coverage gaps before an auditor or attacker finds them

## What’s included
- STRIDE-to-domain mapping covering all six threat categories
- SecurityRequirement and RequirementSet models with priority and traceability
- Automatic user story, acceptance criteria, and test case generation
- Compliance mapper for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and OWASP ASVS controls
- Gap analysis that flags missing controls and weak single-requirement coverage
- Epic generator that bundles requirements per security domain

## Who it’s for
For security architects and engineering leads who need to translate threats into testable, compliance-mapped requirements that fit straight into the sprint backlog.

## How it runs
A threat model that never becomes a backlog protects nothing. This skill converts every STRIDE finding into scored, testable requirements with acceptance criteria, then walks them straight into sprint planning and compliance mapping.
1. Take the threat model as structured input: every threat with its STRIDE category, target component, impact and likelihood.
2. Run each threat through the STRIDE-to-requirement mapping: Spoofing produces authentication and session requirements, Tampering produces input validation and integrity requirements, Repudiation produces audit logging, and so on, three requirement templates per category.
3. Score priority mechanically as impact times likelihood (12 plus is critical, 6 plus is high) so the backlog order reflects measured risk, not gut feel.
4. Attach testable acceptance criteria and concrete test cases to every requirement; vague statements like 'be secure' are rejected, only verifiable controls survive.
5. Convert requirements into user stories and domain epics that drop straight into sprint planning, so security becomes part of each feature's definition of done instead of a separate task.
6. Map every requirement to compliance frameworks (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, OWASP ASVS), run the gap analysis for missing or single-control coverage, and maintain the threat-to-requirement traceability matrix as proof.

## FAQ
### We don't have a formal threat model yet, can we still use this?
It works best from a STRIDE threat model, because the core mapping runs threat category to security domain to requirement pattern. Without one you can start from business context, but you'd produce the STRIDE pass first rather than skip it.

### How does a goal like 'protect customer data' become something testable?
Each STRIDE category maps to requirement patterns that auto-generate user stories, acceptance criteria, and test cases: for example, encrypt PII at rest with AES-256 and 90-day key rotation. Everything ties back to PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, or OWASP ASVS controls through a traceability matrix.

### Does it enforce or test these requirements in my codebase?
No. It produces prioritized requirements, backlog-ready stories, test cases, and a compliance gap analysis for auditors. Implementing the controls and running the tests stays with your engineering and security tooling.
