Security Standards

OWASP Compliance Checks

The application implements the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) password security guidelines as outlined in the OWASP Authentication Cheat Sheet and Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS).

OWASP Foundation Attribution: The password validation criteria are based on OWASP's internationally recognized security standards for web application security. OWASP is a nonprofit foundation that works to improve the security of software.

• ✅ Minimum length (8+ characters) - OWASP ASVS V2.1.1
• ✅ Uppercase letter requirement - OWASP ASVS V2.1.2
• ✅ Lowercase letter requirement - OWASP ASVS V2.1.2
• ✅ Numeric character requirement - OWASP ASVS V2.1.2
• ✅ Special character requirement - OWASP ASVS V2.1.2
• ✅ Common pattern detection - OWASP ASVS V2.1.7
• ✅ Dictionary word prevention - OWASP ASVS V2.1.7
• ✅ Personal information detection - OWASP ASVS V2.1.7

SANS Guidelines Validation

The application follows SANS Institute cybersecurity best practices and password policy recommendations from their security awareness training and incident response guidelines.

SANS Institute Attribution: The password complexity and security posture assessments are based on SANS Institute's cybersecurity training materials and industry best practices. SANS is a private U.S. company founded in 1989 that specializes in cybersecurity and secure coding training.
