Reach OWASP_MASVS_V2 readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

OWASP MASVS v2 is the mobile-specific equivalent of ASVS — eight control families covering storage, cryptography, authentication, network communication, platform interaction, code quality, resilience, and privacy. Adopted as the security baseline for mobile-app submissions to NowSecure, OWASP MASTG, and increasingly by enterprise mobile-app security testing programmes. Quick Policy maps OWASP_MASVS_V2 into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.

Why OWASP_MASVS_V2 matters for your operating model

OWASP_MASVS_V2 doesn't just dictate document templates — it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.

  • Issued by OWASP Foundation with global recognition.
  • Directly shapes policy families including Secure Development, Mobile Security — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Voluntary — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.

How Quick Policy helps you stand up OWASP_MASVS_V2

The platform turns OWASP_MASVS_V2 from a PDF of requirements into a live operating model — policies, training, evidence, and audit-export packs that update in lock-step when the standard or your business changes.

  • Adopt OWASP_MASVS_V2 once and Quick Policy seeds the right policy families (Secure Development, Mobile Security) with applicability rationale your auditor can follow.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Review cadence is enforced at ~365 days so policies don't silently expire ahead of recertification.
  • Standard updates (OWASP_MASVS_V2 revisions, errata, regulator guidance) trigger an applicability re-check across your active policies — not a full rewrite.
