 Threat modeling is an important part of Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL)
 that helps us identify potential threats and mitigations affecting a system.
 
-In the next sections, we first give a description of the target of evaluation
-using a data flow diagram. Then we provide a list of threats we have identified
-based on the data flow diagram and potential threat mitigations.
+As the TF-A codebase is highly configurable to allow tailoring it best for each
+platform's needs, providing a holistic threat model covering all of its features
+is not necessarily the best approach. Instead, we provide a collection of
+documents which, together, form the project's threat model. These are
+articulated around a core document, called the :ref:`Generic Threat Model`,
+which focuses on the most common configuration we expect to see. The other
+documents typically focus on specific features not covered in the core document.
+
+As the TF-A codebase evolves and new features get added, these threat model
+documents will be updated and extended in parallel to reflect at best the
+current status of the code from a security standpoint.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Although our aim is eventually to provide threat model material for all
+      features within the project, we have not reached that point yet. We expect
+      to gradually fill these gaps over time.
+
+Each of these documents give a description of the target of evaluation using a
+data flow diagram, as well as a list of threats we have identified using the
+`STRIDE threat modeling technique`_ and corresponding mitigations.
