# Design Reviewer

Run automated security design reviews on tickets, documents, and diagrams before implementation begins.

DevArmor's Design Reviewer evaluates a specific piece of upcoming work — a Jira ticket, a design doc, an uploaded diagram — against your organization's threat model, and surfaces the security requirements, potential issues, and recommended controls it should satisfy before implementation begins.

Where [Threat Modeler](/modules/threat-modeler.md) analyzes your application as a whole, Design Reviewer analyzes one change to it — so security feedback reaches engineers at planning time, not after the fact, without security having to manually triage every ticket.

## Starting a design review

A design review can be created from:

* [**Jira**](/modules/design-reviewer/jira-integration-security-design-review.md) — automatically, for every new ticket in a monitored project, or on demand from the DevArmor panel on an issue.
* [**Confluence pages, Google Docs, and GitHub Wiki pages**](/modules/design-reviewer/creating-a-design-review.md) — imported as the source document for the review.
* **Uploaded diagrams** — DevArmor automatically interprets uploaded architecture and data-flow diagrams as part of the review.
* The **Google Docs add-on**, directly from within a document.

## Review output

See [Review Output & Findings](/modules/design-reviewer/review-output-and-findings.md) for what a completed design review contains: potential security issues, security requirements, abuse cases, and more.
