About

OWASP Documentation Project Application Security Verification Standards (ASVS) Application Security Verification Standards are specifications produced by OWASP in cooperation with secure applications developers and verifiers worldwide for the purpose of accelerating the deployment of secure Web applications. First published in 2008 as a result of an OWASP Summer of Code grant and meetings with a small group of early adopters, the ASVS documents have become widely referenced and implemented. Further development of ASVS occurs through mailing list discussions and occasional workshops, and suggestions for improvement are welcome. For more information, please contact us. Application Security Verification Standards How ASVS Works ASVS defines four levels of Web application security verification. Each level includes a set of requirements for verifying the effectiveness of security controls that are being used.

Did You Know...
- Businesses are under no obligation to seek inclusion in any sort of a registry or a program in order to perform application security verifications according to OWASP ASVS. Download the latest version and start using ASVS today!
- More complex applications typically take more time to analyze resulting in longer and more costly verifications. Lines of code are not the only factors that determine the complexity of an application – different technologies will typically require different amounts of analysis.
- Simple applications may include for example libraries and frameworks. Applications of moderate complexity may include simple Web 1.0 applications. Complex applications may include Web 2.0 applications and new/unique Web technologies.
