ThreatModeler now owns the biggest point-tool portfolio in threat modeling. Alvor makes a different bet: the threat model matters because of what it's connected to.

The bigger picture
ThreatModeler is an enterprise threat modeling suite (ThreatModeler, CloudModeler, IaC-Assist, Nexus) that acquired IriusRisk in January 2026. Broad within its category, but the category is one artefact: the threat model.
ThreatModeler has assembled the largest portfolio in the threat modeling category: its own platform for applications, CloudModeler for live cloud environments, IaC-Assist for infrastructure-as-code, an agentic layer it calls Nexus, and, since January 2026, IriusRisk, acquired for over $100 million. If you are shortlisting threat modeling point tools, you are increasingly shortlisting one company. That concentration cuts both ways: a bigger content library on one hand, and on the other, years of integrating two overlapping enterprise products, with roadmap and renewal questions you should get answered in writing.
Alvor's bet is different, and structural. A threat model's value is not the list of threats; it is what the organization does next. In ThreatModeler's world, what happens next is a handoff: findings push to Jira and the GRC stack, and keeping threat models, risk registers, compliance evidence, and policies consistent becomes your ongoing integration work. In Alvor, there is no handoff. The threat model is one artefact in a governed architecture record, on the same graph as the assets it describes, the controls that mitigate it, the risk register it feeds, and the evidence your auditors read. And where ThreatModeler runs its AI as a vendor-managed layer, Alvor's agentic studios run on the model provider you choose, with every write paused on an audit-logged approval card.
There is a real niche where ThreatModeler's depth wins: an enterprise AppSec function whose entire mandate is producing threat models at industrial scale, especially from live cloud environments and IaC. If that is you, evaluate them seriously, and ask hard questions about the IriusRisk integration. If you are building a security program rather than a modeling factory, the point category itself is the wrong shape, and that is the problem Alvor was built to remove.
Side by side
Plain-text descriptions, no checkmark games. If we can't say it, we don't.
Capability
Alvor
ThreatModeler
Primary category
Alvor
Unified security and compliance platform; threat modeling lives inside the Secure by Design module
ThreatModeler
Enterprise threat modeling suite (ThreatModeler, CloudModeler, IaC-Assist, Nexus; owns IriusRisk since January 2026)
Scope
Alvor
Eight integrated modules: asset management, secure by design (security architecture), risk, compliance, policy, program, third-party risk, and business continuity, plus an embedded AI assistant.
ThreatModeler
Threat modeling for applications, cloud environments, and infrastructure-as-code; findings hand off to dev and GRC toolchains.
Threat modeling approach
Alvor
Diagram-anchored STRIDE register: elements from real diagram shapes, library-first threat reuse (MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP, CAPEC, NIST references), controls mapped from your catalog.
ThreatModeler
Automated generation from process-flow diagrams, live cloud environments (CloudModeler), and IaC (IaC-Assist), drawing on its component and threat content library.
Cloud and IaC inputs
Alvor
Asset inventory syncs from cloud, SaaS, and identity providers; diagrams are drawn on the canvas, by hand, from a description, or recreated from an image.
ThreatModeler
One-click model generation from connected cloud accounts and IaC templates: the suite's distinctive capability.
AI capabilities
Alvor
Four agentic studios (diagrams, threat models, design explanations, policy drafting) plus a cross-module assistant that can act in every module.
ThreatModeler
Vendor-run AI layer: an AI assistant, adaptive AI/ML, the Nexus agentic platform, and WingMan dashboard widgets.
AI governance
Alvor
Bring your own model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, or compatible endpoint). Writes pause on approval cards; everything audit-logged; admins can disable actions per tool.
ThreatModeler
AI runs as part of the vendor's managed service; the model layer is not customer-selected.
Beyond the threat model
Alvor
Business impact analysis, design explanations written from interviews, architecture decision records, human sign-off matrix, one-click design-document PDF.
ThreatModeler
Reports, dashboards, and compliance-mapped requirements within the threat modeling suite.
Downstream GRC
Alvor
Native: mapped controls become build controls, findings escalate to the risk register, evidence flows into compliance, policies link on the same graph.
ThreatModeler
Handoff: findings and requirements push to Jira, CI/CD, and external GRC tooling.
Content libraries
Alvor
Threat library seeded from MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP, CAPEC, NIST, growing and deduplicating as you model; your own control catalog does the mitigating.
ThreatModeler
Large stated content library: 1,500+ threats, 3,000+ components, 3,500+ security requirements, 180+ compliance frameworks.
Pricing
Alvor
Published. Starter $8K, Growth $18K, Scale $48K. One seat per employee. 10% renewal cap.
ThreatModeler
Not published as tiers; usage-based subscriptions and contracts, including via AWS Marketplace.
Ownership
Alvor
Independent.
ThreatModeler
Acquirer mid-integration: absorbed IriusRisk (January 2026), with two overlapping product lines to reconcile.

Questions
Common questions security leaders ask while shortlisting.
Since January 2026, that is a trick question: ThreatModeler acquired IriusRisk for over $100 million, so both roads lead to the same vendor and, eventually, the same roadmap. If you are comparing the two, you are really evaluating the combined company's integration plan, and you should ask which product is the go-forward platform, what happens to the other's editions, and how renewals will be handled. Or step back and ask whether a threat modeling point tool is the right purchase at all: if the model needs to feed risk, compliance, and policy, a connected platform like Alvor removes the question.
