The Story

What It Includes

Compass bundles together the Polaris Structural Security Posture Analysis Tool and the Merak Asset Threat Analysis Tool, giving teams a comprehensive set of data-driven instruments to evaluate and improve the security of their system designs from the ground up.

Impact

Compass democratizes advanced security analysis — any team with a web browser can evaluate their system's security posture without specialized expertise or enterprise tooling. It bridges academic research with practical engineering, lowering the barrier to secure-by-design development.
