Security Requirement Extraction

Transform threat analysis into actionable security requirements.

When to Use This Skill

  • Converting threat models to requirements
  • Writing security user stories
  • Creating security test cases
  • Building security acceptance criteria
  • Compliance requirement mapping
  • Security architecture documentation

Core Concepts

1. Requirement Categories

Business Requirements → Security Requirements → Technical Controls
         ↓                       ↓                      ↓
  "Protect customer    "Encrypt PII at rest"   "AES-256 encryption
   data"                                        with KMS key rotation"

2. Security Requirement Types

TypeFocusExample
FunctionalWhat system must do"System must authenticate users"
Non-functionalHow system must perform"Authentication must complete in <2s"
ConstraintLimitations imposed"Must use approved crypto libraries"

3. Requirement Attributes

AttributeDescription
TraceabilityLinks to threats/compliance
TestabilityCan be verified
PriorityBusiness importance
Risk LevelImpact if not met

Best Practices

Do's

  • Trace to threats - Every requirement should map to threats
  • Be specific - Vague requirements can't be tested
  • Include acceptance criteria - Define "done"
  • Consider compliance - Map to frameworks early
  • Review regularly - Requirements evolve with threats

Don'ts

  • Don't be generic - "Be secure" is not a requirement
  • Don't skip rationale - Explain why it matters
  • Don't ignore priorities - Not all requirements are equal
  • Don't forget testability - If you can't test it, you can't verify it
  • Don't work in isolation - Involve stakeholders
