The goal of the '''OWASP Legal Project''' is to ensure, at each stage of the life cycle, that appropriate attention has been paid to security. The cornerstone of the Legal Project is its Secure Software Development Contract Annex. The Contract Annex  helps software developers and their clients negotiate and capture important contractual terms and conditions related to the security of the software to be developed or delivered. Here are two examples:
  
The OWASP Legal Project's '''Secure Software Development Contract Annex (Contract Annex)''' helps software developers and their clients negotiate and capture important contractual terms and conditions related to the security of the software to be developed or delivered. Most contracts are silent on these issues, and the parties frequently have dramatically different views on what has actually been agreed to. Clearly articulating these terms is the best way to ensure that both parties can make informed decisions about how to proceed. There are currently versions in English.<br><br>
+
* '''Implementation.''' Developer agrees to provide and follow a set of secure coding guidelines and to use a set of common security control programming interfaces (such as the [http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Enterprise_Security_API OWASP ESAPI]). Guidelines will indicate how code should be formatted, structured, and commented. Common security control programming interfaces will define how security controls must be called and how security controls shall function. All security-relevant code shall be thoroughly commented. Specific guidance on avoiding common security vulnerabilities shall be included. Also, all code shall be reviewed by at least one other Developer against the security requirements and coding guideline before it is considered ready for unit test.
  
There are many benefits to working through the OWASP Secure Software Development Contract Annex. The principal one is that it will make expectations clear between the parties involved. In some cases it will help to prevent lawsuits when difficult security problems surface in the software. Also, these are the same activities that are required by many legal and regulatory compliance reasons.
+
* '''Security Analysis and Testing.''' Developer will perform application security analysis and testing (also called "verification") according to the verification requirements of an agreed-upon standard (such as the [http://www.owasp.org/index.php/ASVS OWASP ASVS]). The Developer shall document verification findings according to the reporting requirements of the standard. The Developer shall provide the verification findings to Client.

The goal of the Contract Annex is simply to ensure, at each stage of the life cycle, that appropriate attention has been paid to security. An additional benefit is that this documentation can be collected together to form a "certification package" that essentially lays out the argument for why this software should be trusted to do what it claims it does.<br><br>

The cornerstone of the Legal Project is its Secure Software Development Contract Annex. The Contract Annex helps software developers and their clients negotiate and capture important contractual terms and conditions related to the security of the software to be developed or delivered. Here are two examples:

  • Implementation. Developer agrees to provide and follow a set of secure coding guidelines and to use a set of common security control programming interfaces (such as the OWASP ESAPI). Guidelines will indicate how code should be formatted, structured, and commented. Common security control programming interfaces will define how security controls must be called and how security controls shall function. All security-relevant code shall be thoroughly commented.
