IriusRisk vs ThreatModeler Nexus

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.

ThreatModeler Nexus is an agentic platform for secure design and governed threat modeling across applications, cloud and hybrid architectures, devices, and operational technology. Its Secure Design Graph connects architectures, threats, controls, compliance requirements, and security decisions. System Mapping, Graph, and Reporting agents operate on that graph. Supported methods include STRIDE, PASTA, and CSA MAESTRO for agentic systems, and findings map to more than 180 regulatory and security frameworks, including NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, DORA, and the EU AI Act. A built-in MCP Server checks pull requests and commits against the current threat model and returns threats, requirements, and mitigations in developer workflows. Integrations include infrastructure tools, cloud providers, code platforms, ServiceNow, and ArmorCode. Customers can connect their own AI model, with a deterministic framework governing output. Web, API, and self-hosted environments are listed. A free Community Edition is available; the ThreatModeler license costs $4,000 a year on a 12-month contract. Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply.
