The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 is the most widely referenced resource for web application security awareness. Updated every few years based on real-world vulnerability data, it catalogues the ten most critical security risks — from broken access control and injection flaws to cryptographic failures and security misconfiguration. While OWASP is not a formal standard or regulation, it is referenced by PCI DSS, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, and virtually every security framework as the baseline for secure software development practices. For engineering teams, the OWASP Top 10 is the starting point for threat modelling, code review, and security testing.

Enforce least-privilege access controls consistently across all application layers, with deny-by-default policies and automated verification of authorisation on every request.
Parameterised queries, prepared statements, and input validation must prevent injection attacks across SQL, NoSQL, OS command, and LDAP injection vectors.
Sensitive data must be encrypted at rest and in transit, with classification policies determining which data fields require encryption, masking, or tokenisation.
Automated configuration management enforcing secure defaults, minimal feature surfaces, hardened headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and regular vulnerability scanning.
Sufficient logging to detect and respond to security incidents, with tamper-proof log storage, centralised monitoring, and automated alerting for anomalous patterns.
The OWASP Top 10 is the baseline for every web application we build. Our engineering onboarding includes OWASP threat modelling training, and our CI/CD pipelines enforce SAST scanning (SonarQube, Semgrep) and SCA (Dependency-Check, Snyk) on every pull request. We maintain an OWASP-based security checklist that is reviewed at each development milestone — architecture review, first PR, integration testing, and pre-launch. Our production deployments include security headers, CSP configuration, and rate limiting as standard infrastructure.
