==============================================

Map APVISO application testing to OWASP ASVS security verification themes for web applications and APIs.

Requirement Position
--------------------

OWASP ASVS is a verification standard rather than a regulation. APVISO helps teams test application behaviors that align with ASVS themes such as authentication, access control, validation, and API security.

Audit Evidence APVISO Can Support
---------------------------------

- Application security findings organized around verification themes
- Evidence for authentication, authorization, input validation, session, and API risks
- Retest outputs showing whether verification gaps were closed
- Repeatable pentest records that support secure development practices

APVISO Testing Coverage
-----------------------

- Tests OWASP-aligned vulnerability classes with adaptive AI agents
- Focuses on runtime behavior, not just static checklists
- Connects ASVS-style risks to developer remediation guidance

Guide
-----

OWASP ASVS gives teams a vocabulary for application security verification. APVISO helps operationalize that vocabulary by testing real application behavior for authentication, authorization, input validation, session handling, API exposure, and other runtime risks.

Unlike a static checklist, APVISO pentests interact with the application. The agents map endpoints, infer workflows, test parameters, and validate exploitability. That makes the output useful for teams trying to understand where ASVS-style expectations are not reflected in production behavior.

ASVS is not a regulation, and APVISO does not certify compliance. It provides evidence that can support engineering verification, customer assurance, and internal security programs that use OWASP ASVS as a reference model.

Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------

Is OWASP ASVS the same as the OWASP Top 10?▾No. The OWASP Top 10 is a risk awareness list, while ASVS is a more detailed application security verification standard. APVISO can help test behaviors related to both.

Can APVISO certify ASVS compliance?▾No. APVISO provides testing evidence and findings that can support verification work, but it does not issue ASVS certification.
