## 📚 Documents ## Purpose
### 1. [STRIDE Threat Model](STRIDE_THREAT_MODEL.md)
A comprehensive threat analysis of the API Dash application using the STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, Elevation of Privilege) framework.
**Contents:**
- System architecture and data flow analysis
- Detailed threat identification across all STRIDE categories
- Risk assessment and prioritization
- Recommended security controls and mitigations
- Security testing recommendations
**Key Highlights:**
- 23 identified threats across all STRIDE categories
- Risk-scored threat matrix for prioritization
- Immediate, short-term, and long-term action plans
- Focus on critical issues: credential storage, dependency management, data integrity
### 2. [Incident Response Plan (IRP)](INCIDENT_RESPONSE_PLAN.md)
A structured incident response plan aligned with 2025 industry standards and best practices for handling security incidents in the API Dash open source project.
**Contents:**
- Incident response team structure and roles
- Incident classification and severity levels
- Complete incident response lifecycle (Detection → Recovery)
- Specific response procedures for different incident types
- Communication plans and templates
- Post-incident review processes
- Training and awareness programs
**Key Features:**
- Aligned with NIST, SANS, and ISO incident management standards
