Security requirement checklists

Verification requirements per area from a standard such as OWASP ASVS.

How to build it

  1. Pick the ASVS chapters that match the code area, such as authentication or session handling.
  2. Turn each chosen requirement into a yes or no question for the reviewer.
  3. Record the requirement ID in the review comment when a change fails it.

Signals in a repository

  • A security review checklist in the repository that cites ASVS requirement IDs such as V2.1.1.
  • Pull request templates with security checkboxes that link to ASVS.

In practice

No scanned repository runs a tool for this check. The steps above are the only guidance.
