asvs-audit

To run an OWASP ASVS Level 1 security audit, provide your target repository path and project name to evaluate all 70 verification items in strict order. The audit requires the bundled ASVS L1 CSV and report template as canonical inputs to produce a complete verification report.

Evidence-based verification in secure software compliance reporting classifies each ASVS requirement as PASS, N/A, NEEDS_REVIEW, or FAIL using strict evidence formatting like file:line references, config keys, or explicit missing-controls documentation. This deterministic approach ensures consistent, structured security audit results.

Yes, you can use this ASVS audit for penetration-test style vulnerability assessments. It applies to security audits, compliance reviews, and vulnerability scanning where codebase evidence and strict classification against the OWASP ASVS 5.0 Level 1 standard are needed.

The OWASP ASVS 5.0 audit generates a structured Level 1 compliance report automatically using a mandatory report template. It builds a verification control table with exactly 70 rows and writes the finished report directly to a docs/ path in your target repository.

Before starting an ASVS vulnerability assessment, ensure your workspace includes the required ASVS L1 CSV and report template files. You must also provide the target repository path and project name to evaluate all 70 verification items deterministically.

Security audits require strict ordering of ASVS verification items to ensure deterministic, evidence-based review across the full set of 70 requirements. Evaluating items 1-70 in order guarantees a complete and consistent Level 1 compliance report without missing controls.
