Suit 06 of 9 · 8 threats, 4 of them life-safety · prefix CC
Care-circle threats come from the watchers: misuse by people with legitimate access, disputes between them, and takeover of their accounts.
Scope: The watchers: parents, family, friends, paid carers, agencies and clinical teams.
Text version: every entry on this page is in the PDF and Excel downloads on the overview page, where it can be searched and copied.

Where this suit touches others
- Sight and Sound and Care Circle: the camera carries the person straight to the watchers; the care circle is who those watchers are and what they do with it.
- Care Circle and Resident: the care circle covers the watchers and their access; the resident covers the person watched over, their consent and their say.
STRIDE, LINDDUN, CAPEC and CWE
Of the 8 entries here, STRIDE fits 4 cleanly and 3 only loosely, and none of its categories applies to 1. LINDDUN fits 1 cleanly and 2 only loosely, and has no category for 5. CAPEC 3.9 describes 1 directly and has nothing for 7. CWE 5.0 names the weakness directly for 1, has only a broader weakness for 5 and has nothing for 2. All four frameworks miss 3 of them: no clean STRIDE or LINDDUN prompt, and no direct CAPEC or CWE match. The table below gives the mapping entry by entry, with the names of the CAPEC patterns and CWE weaknesses; what the mapping shows across the whole taxonomy is in Mapping the Care Assistant Threat Taxonomy to STRIDE, LINDDUN, CAPEC and CWE. The Excel, SKOS and STIX downloads carry the same mapping as text.
