IriusRisk vs KAVACH

IriusRisk is an AI threat-modeling tool for planning secure software design. It helps teams build threat models, identify threats and countermeasures, and surface vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. Its Jeff AI Assistant can turn user stories, documentation, meeting transcripts, or code into a diagram showing threats and security controls. A built-in knowledge base supports applying standards such as PCI DSS, NIST, and GDPR, marking aligned countermeasures as required. Integrations include Jira, ServiceNow, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub, OWASP ZAP, Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and Open API; users can also import diagrams from draw.io, Visio, Lucidchart, and Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool. The free Community Edition costs nothing and allows one user and three active threat models. Enterprise has no listed price and is offered as SaaS or on-premise. IriusRisk says its cloud services are not designed or certified for certain sensitive data, including PHI and GDPR special category data.

KAVACH is an automotive cybersecurity engineering workspace connecting vehicle architecture to traceable cybersecurity evidence across ISO/SAE 21434 workflows. Its TARA process links assets, damage and threat scenarios, attack paths, risk assessment and treatment, security goals, controls, and evidence. The workspace includes architecture context, attack-tree editing, a traceability hub, vulnerability monitoring, a cybersecurity case, an R155 compliance matrix, and report generation. SBOM and vulnerability signals can connect affected components with assets, threats, and treatment decisions. The current release focuses on ISO/SAE 21434 Clauses 5–15, UNECE R155/R156 evidence, AIS 189/AIS 190 readiness, and post-production monitoring. Deployment choices are a customer-controlled desktop workspace, on-premise deployment, or a customer-dedicated EU cloud VPC. Manual engineering, deterministic automation, and optional private AI are available. Generated work products are structured drafts requiring engineer review and customer approval. Pricing is scoped per programme.
