Our reading notes

Application Security Verification Standard

A structured application-security requirements reference for discussing verification scope with engineers, security reviewers, and suppliers.

What to look for

  1. 01

    Use explicit requirements to agree what a security review will verify.

  2. 02

    Select the applicable scope with someone responsible for your threat model.

Keep in mind

A requirements document is not evidence that an application is secure. Pin the version when writing a contract or verification plan.
