CREST OWASP Verification Standard (OVS)
Organisations around the world are faced with the challenge of an expanding attack surface because of increased connectivity, digitalisation, cloud migration and API integration.
The CREST OVS aims to provide clarity, consistency, and assurance for application security with a framework designed to promote the standards as defined by cybersecurity industry professionals.
What is the CREST OVS Programme?
Developed by CREST, in consultation with the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), the CREST OWASP Verification Standard (OVS) is a framework which provides a scalable and consistent approach to web and mobile application security standards.
The CREST OWASP Verification Standard (OVS) programme sits as a specialism of the CREST Penetration Testing Discipline. It provides assurance that suppliers have the necessary competencies and methodology to deliver a quality assessment using the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) and Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS).
Organisations that can conduct the OVS demonstrate a robust and repeatable methodology supplemented by the appropriate internal quality and governance controls that broadly align with ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
OVS services are invaluable if your organisation…
Uses web applications that require maximum security
Operates in a dynamic environment that changes frequently
Relies highly on online services or if you run an online operational business
Is required to demonstrate your services are functioning and positively tested for security
What are the benefits of the OVS?

01
Organisations get access to quality-assured web security testing services for their businesses and products
02

03

What is OWASP ASVS?
The OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) Project provides a basis for testing web application technical security controls and provides developers with a list of requirements for secure development.
The primary aim of the OWASP ASVS is to normalise the range in the coverage and level of rigour available in the market when it comes to performing web application security verification using a commercially workable open standard. This standard can be used to establish a level of confidence in the security of web applications.

What is OWASP MASVS?
The OWASP MASVS is a standard for mobile app security.
It can be used by mobile software architects and developers seeking to develop secure mobile applications, as well as security testers to ensure completeness and consistency of test results.
What are the benefits of using CREST-accredited companies?
CREST Accredited Penetration Testing companies, like LRQA Nettitude, have been assessed against stringent membership criteria as part of the annual accreditation cycle.
Each member company has signed a code of conduct that warrants that they will conduct penetration tests per the methodology assessed as part of their accreditation process.
