Discussions with your teams identify sensitive data, user roles, critical operations and exposed interfaces. We then help define risk scenarios and the controls expected to address them.

This approach accounts for your existing application, operational constraints and requirements communicated by your business and security stakeholders.

Design: define access rules

Which users can view information, change data or trigger an operation? These rules are described with product owners and connected to the workflows being developed.

Discovery also covers exchanges between components, administrative access and the information needed to understand an incident.

Development: make requirements verifiable

Agreed controls become delivery tasks: server-side authorisation, input validation, secrets management and error handling. Dependencies and sensitive changes are among the elements to examine.

OWASP ASVS provides a basis for selecting application security verification requirements. Its use should specify which requirements are selected and the level of verification expected. OWASP reference

Testing: examine permitted uses and potential abuse

Security acceptance testing may include scenarios involving prohibited access, unauthorised changes or unexpected interface usage. Results and findings are recorded so that their resolution can be organised.

Automated analysis, reviews and any penetration testing serve complementary purposes. Their scope and execution conditions are agreed before the work begins.

Operations: organise ongoing follow-up

Release preparation should define responsibilities for patches, access, alerts and backups. Vulnerability handling and incident response preparation are part of the maintenance organisation to establish.

The NIST SSDF describes how security practices fit into the development lifecycle, including organisational preparation and vulnerability response. NIST reference

Depending on the scope, deliverables may include a requirements list, an access-rights matrix, verification results and a record of unresolved risks. These provide an explicit basis for release decisions.

Using a framework does not constitute certification. Warranties, specific audits and monitoring services are defined according to the needs and commitments agreed.

Your stakeholders set requirements and acceptance decisions. The technical lead organises their implementation in the application; the project manager tracks their inclusion. Your Lugher helps communicate the context between your stakeholders and the team in India.

Tell us about your users, the data processed and the constraints you have already identified. We can then prepare a scope of work and appropriate verification activities.
