Computer systems process, store and transfer sensitive information which makes them a valuable asset. Despite the existence of standards such as ISO 27005 for managing information risk, cyber threats are increasing, exposing such systems to security breaches, and at the same time, compromising users' privacy. However, threat modelling has also emerged as an alternative to identify and analyze them, reducing the attack landscape by discarding low-risk attack vectors, and mitigating high-risk ones. In this work, we introduce a novel threat-modelling-based approach for risk management, using ISO 27005 as a baseline for integrating ISO 27001/27002 security controls with privacy regulations outlined in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In our proposal, risk estimation and mitigation is enhanced by combining STRIDE and attack trees as a threat modelling strategy. Our approach is applied to an IoT case study, where different attacks are analyzed to determine their risk levels and potential countermeasures.
