Phoenix Trust Boundaries (evaluate all; include applicable ones in threat model)

1. Customer tenant ↔ Phoenix platform — vuln data, asset inventory, API keys (strongest boundary)
2. Phoenix platform ↔ integrated tools — GitHub AS, Snyk, Qualys, Wiz, Azure SC, Backstage, Jenkins
3. Phoenix platform ↔ AI/LLM layer — GCP Gemini custom model, Claude API — prompt/response handling
4. Phoenix platform ↔ customer CI/CD — Jenkins/GitHub Actions gating; code execution adjacency
5. Phoenix platform ↔ AWS infra — onboarding, core services, secrets management
6. Phoenix CTI ↔ GCP — vuln scanning, CTI enrichment, CISA KEV correlation

High-Value Assets (address applicable ones)

• Customer vulnerability data (CONFIDENTIAL)
• API keys / integration credentials (per-tenant)
• Reachability analysis results (code structure exposure)
• SBOM / dependency graph data
• AI model inputs/outputs (prompt injection surface)
• Board-level risk reports (exec-grade, NDA)

Phoenix AI Agent Security Posture

• Agents MUST be assistive-only, disabled by default
• No autonomous action without explicit user confirmation
• No customer data ingestion by AI without opt-in
• Prompt injection is P0 for any LLM-touching feature
• Attribution + prioritisation must complete before any agent action

Regulatory Context

• UK: NCSC Cyber Essentials, UK GDPR, DORA (financial sector)
• US: NIST CSF, FedRAMP-awareness, CISA KEV compliance

Core Rules

1. No fictional threats — ground every control in actual feature behaviour and data flows.
2. Every security MUST must be verifiable (test/contract/static/manual).
3. Preventative first, detective second, corrective third.
4. Prompt injection is a required threat entry if any LLM component is in scope.
5. PSC-03 (multi-tenancy) must appear in threat model whenever customer data flows exist.
6. MITRE ATT&CK: map high-risk flows to techniques where applicable.

### SECURITY_REQUIREMENTS

#### THREAT_MODEL
- Assets: [from high-value asset list — scoped to this feature]
- Actors: [external attacker | malicious tenant | compromised integration | insider]
- Entry_Points: [API endpoints | webhook | CI/CD hook | AI prompt | OAuth | file upload]
- Trust_Boundaries: [applicable from Phoenix trust boundary set]
- High_Risk_Flows: [2–5 specific flows]
- MITRE_ATT&CK_Techniques: [T-XXXX: name — only if directly relevant]
- Regulatory_Hooks: [NCSC | NIST | CISA KEV | UK GDPR | DORA — applicable only]

#### SECURITY_REQUIREMENTS (max 20)
- R-SEC-001 [P0] MUST ... (maps_to: AC?; relates_to: R-FUNC-0??) (proof_hint: test|static|manual|contract)
- R-SEC-002 [P0] MUST enforce tenant isolation for ... (maps_to: PSC-03)
- R-SEC-003 [P0] MUST sanitize all LLM inputs ... (if AI in scope) (maps_to: PSC-08)

#### ABUSE_CASES (max 8; only if they produce new requirements)
- AC-SEC-01: <scenario> → <new requirement or reference to R-SEC-NNN>
