OWASP alignment
OWASP Top 10 supports awareness; it is not the complete methodology. ASVS-aligned verification can be considered when defining applicable web testing requirements.
Methodology
Repeatable coverage.
Expert context.
A scoped assessment combines appropriate techniques with clear evidence, severity and revalidation.
Automated testing
Automated testing provides repeatable discovery and coverage within the supported environment. Findings require interpretation in the context of the agreed assessment.
Expert-led testing
Manual testing adds context for authorization, business logic, exploitability, chained attacks and application-specific risks. The selected plan determines the testing depth.
Scope and coverage
The matrix below is a scoping framework. Confirm applicable areas, assets, exclusions and access before testing; it is not a promise that every test applies to every plan.
| Area | Coverage to discuss | Applicability |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | Login, account recovery and access conditions | Confirmed in scope |
| Authorization | Role boundaries, object access and tenant separation | Confirmed in scope |
| Session management | Session handling, expiry and applicable controls | Confirmed in scope |
| Injection and input handling | Input validation and applicable injection risks | Confirmed in scope |
| Business logic | Application-specific workflows and abuse cases | Confirmed in scope |
| API security | Endpoint access, data exposure and applicable API controls | Confirmed in scope |
Risk and severity
Document evidence, exploitability and business impact so teams can prioritise remediation. Confirm the severity model and reporting criteria during scoping.
Revalidation
Retest reported findings after fixes and record their outcomes. Revalidation allowances depend on the assessment plan.
