ASVS

ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard) is a standard by OWASP that provides clear security requirements for developing and testing applications at three levels:

• Level 1 – Basic security verification suitable for all applications, focused on common vulnerabilities such as injections or misconfigurations.
• Level 2 – Standard security level for applications processing sensitive data, requiring strong authentication, session management, and secure coding practices.
• Level 3 – Advanced security level intended for critical applications (e.g., banking, healthcare), including cryptography and security architecture review.
