## Overview

OWASP (Open Worldwide Application Security Project) publishes community standards that are the common language of application security. The **OWASP Top 10** catalogs the most critical web-app risks; **ASVS** (Application Security Verification Standard) gives testable requirements at three assurance levels; **SAMM** (Software Assurance Maturity Model) guides program maturity; **MASVS** covers mobile; and the **Cheat Sheet Series** gives concise defensive implementation guidance.

This skill is how you turn those documents into practice: threat-driven secure design, checklist-based code review, and measurable verification. Everything here is defensive — the goal is building software that withstands attacks, not producing attacks.

Start with the project's risk profile, not the document set: a public-facing payment API needs ASVS Level 2 verified end to end, while an internal dashboard may live at Level 1 with selected Level 2 controls. The documents are a menu driven by risk, and the cheat sheets are the recipes your developers will actually open during implementation.

## When to use

- Starting a new web/API/mobile project and you need the baseline security requirements.
- Reviewing code or architecture for injection, auth, crypto, and misconfiguration issues.
- Defining security acceptance criteria for a release ("ASVS Level 2 verified").
- Responding to a pentest or bug-bounty report and mapping findings to remediations.
