Start with the decision
Before choosing a method, make the purpose of the review explicit. A new data flow, a change in service identity or a privacy concern may call for different questions. Describe the system, the people affected and the decision the review should inform.
Combine complementary perspectives
STRIDE helps structure security threat identification. LINDDUN brings privacy concerns into focus. PASTA connects technical analysis with business risk. These methods can inform the same discussion without being treated as interchangeable.
Knowledge bases such as MITRE ATT&CK and verification references such as OWASP ASVS contribute different kinds of evidence. Distinguishing those roles helps teams avoid confusing a checklist with a complete model.
Keep the result reviewable
A useful review records what is known, what remains uncertain and who is responsible for the next decision. The chosen method should help the team explain its reasoning, revisit assumptions and evaluate its response.
