OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard) and MASTG (Mobile Application Security Testing Guide) are comprehensive frameworks developed by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) to enhance mobile application security.

OWASP MASVS is a standard that provides a set of basic security requirements for mobile applications. It helps developers, architects, and security testers ensure that mobile applications are designed, developed, and tested with security in mind. MASVS covers various aspects of mobile security, including data storage, authentication, cryptography, and network communications, offering a clear and structured approach to achieving robust security.

OWASP MASTG complements MASVS by offering detailed testing guidelines and best practices for evaluating mobile application security. It serves as a practical guide for security testers, providing techniques and tools to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in mobile applications. MASTG includes a comprehensive set of test cases aligned with the MASVS requirements, ensuring that security assessments are thorough and consistent.

Together, MASVS and MASTG provide a holistic approach to mobile application security, helping organizations build and maintain secure mobile applications that protect sensitive data and withstand evolving threats.

Our company specializes in comprehensive security assessments for mobile applications, leveraging the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) to ensure your applications are robust and secure. We offer tailored assessments for different security levels: L1, L2, and L2+R.

OWASP MASVS L1 (Standard Security)

Our MASVS L1 assessment focuses on the essential security requirements for mobile applications. This baseline level is designed for most mobile apps and includes:

• Basic security controls
• Data protection measures
• Secure authentication and authorization mechanisms
• Fundamental cryptography practices

This level is ideal for applications with standard security needs, ensuring they adhere to industry best practices for protecting user data and maintaining integrity.

OWASP MASVS L2 (Defense-in-Depth)

The MASVS L2 assessment is tailored for mobile applications that handle sensitive data or operate in high-risk environments. It involves a deeper evaluation of security measures, including:

• Advanced cryptographic controls
• Enhanced authentication and session management
• Comprehensive data protection strategies
• Secure network communication protocols

L2 assessments are suitable for applications requiring a higher level of security assurance, providing an extra layer of defense against sophisticated threats.

OWASP MASVS L2+R (Resilience Against Reverse Engineering)

Our MASVS L2+R service extends the L2 assessment with additional focus on resilience against reverse engineering and tampering. This includes:

• Techniques to obfuscate code
• Implementing anti-tampering measures
• Protecting intellectual property and proprietary algorithms
• Ensuring the application is resilient against static and dynamic analysis

This highest level of assessment is crucial for applications that must safeguard against reverse engineering to protect sensitive functionalities and business logic.
