OWASP ASVS

Verify your application security with OWASP ASVS

The Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) is a globally recognized framework for testing the security of web and mobile applications. At Haxoris we use it to provide a transparent, measurable, and comprehensive assessment of your systems' resilience.

No more random testing. Get a clear view of your application security built on a standard trusted by experts worldwide.

Standardized testing

Why is standardized testing crucial?

In today's digital environment, it is not enough to hope your application is secure. You need certainty. OWASP ASVS provides a clearly defined and testable set of security requirements that removes uncertainty from penetration testing.

Instead of generic tests, we verify specific security controls - from authentication and session management to cryptography and data protection. The result is not just a list of vulnerabilities, but a strategic guide to strengthen your defense.

ASVS Level

Three levels of security verification (ASVS Level)

The ASVS standard is flexible and lets us tailor testing depth to your application's risk. Each level builds on the previous one and adds stricter requirements.

Aspect	ASVS Level 1	ASVS Level 2	ASVS Level 3
Intended for	Low-risk applications that do not process sensitive data.	Applications processing personal data (GDPR) or sensitive business data. Most common choice.	High-risk systems, critical infrastructure, finance, healthcare.
Test goal	Protection against easily exploitable vulnerabilities.	Protection against targeted and sophisticated attacks.	Maximum security level against advanced threats and expert adversaries.
Example	Public website, marketing page, simple blog.	E-commerce, internal systems, SaaS platforms, CRM.	Banking apps, patient management systems, government portals.
Meets regulations	Basic security hygiene.	GDPR, PCI DSS, NIS2.	Strict industry standards and legislation.

Our process

Our ASVS assessment process

At Haxoris we approach testing methodically to ensure consistent and repeatable results.

Scope definition (Scoping)

Together we analyze your application, its function, and risks. Based on that, we recommend the appropriate ASVS level (Level 1, 2, or 3).

Control mapping

We prepare test scenarios that map ASVS requirements to the specific functions of your application.

Manual testing

Our ethical hackers perform deep manual testing supported by advanced tools. We verify each relevant security control.

Reporting and recommendations

Findings are documented in a clear report. Each vulnerability includes a description, risk rating, proof-of-concept, and clear recommendations for developers.

Free retest

After fixes are implemented, we retest to verify that vulnerabilities are removed and the application meets ASVS requirements.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

01 What exactly is OWASP ASVS?

OWASP ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard) is a community-driven standard that provides a comprehensive list of security requirements and controls for modern web and mobile applications. It serves as a methodology for ASVS assessment and security verification.

02 Which ASVS version is current? ASVS 4 or ASVS 5?

The latest and recommended version is OWASP ASVS 5.0. Compared to ASVS 4, it introduces updated requirements reflecting modern threats and technologies such as APIs, containerization, and cloud. At Haxoris we always test against the latest valid version of the standard.

03 What is the difference between ASVS and OWASP Top 10?

OWASP Top 10 is an awareness document that highlights the 10 most critical risks for web applications. ASVS is a verification standard that provides a comprehensive, testable list of hundreds of controls required to reach a given security level. ASVS covers all risks from the Top 10 and many more.

04 How long does an ASVS assessment take?

The testing duration depends on the size and complexity of the application and the chosen ASVS level. After an initial consultation, we provide a precise timeline and cost estimate.
