Recommended Path
Follow chapters in order to move from configuration to production execution.
1. OWASP
Goal: OWASP
OWASP defines the practical standard for this module and how teams execute it daily.
Expected Outcome
After this chapter, the team can standardize "OWASP" with measurable controls for delivery consistency.
- A repeatable process for OWASP is documented and shared.
- Controls are measurable against Operational maturity and shared standards.
Quick Validation
Validate via UI flow and API probe (/api/v1/me), then confirm expected permissions and logs.
- Test the full UI flow with a standard user account.
- Validate API behavior and permissions for the same scenario.
- Record at least one edge case and expected fallback.
Risk To Avoid
Do not move to chapter 2 before edge cases and access scope are confirmed for this step.
- Do not rely on admin-only testing.
- Avoid implicit process steps not written in docs.
- Do not ship without logging and troubleshooting clues.
