14. Challenges and Lessons
Each of your customers would have their own
way and you cannot enforce a standard
What gets measured gets managed
You can call on the good-will but it is never a
guarantee
People would follow the crowd
15. Introduction to OWASP ASVS
OWASP Flagship project
Started in 2009
3 levels of maturity Basically a curated
checklist of all the good practices that you
have known all along
Collection of practical advise on
implementation
16. Maturity Levels
ASVS Level 1 (opportunistic) is meant for all
software
ASVS Level 2 (standard) is for applications that
contain sensitive data, which requires protection
ASVS Level 3 (advanced) is for the most critical
applications - applications that perform high value
transactions, contain sensitive medical data, or any
application that requires the highest level of trust
17. Uses of OWASP ASVS
Use as a metric
Use as guidance
Use during procurement
