OWASP Top 10 Compliance Automation
Continuous vulnerability scanning and automated evidence collection for OWASP Top 10.
What is OWASP Top 10?
The OWASP Top 10 is the most widely cited web application security awareness document in the industry, updated regularly to reflect the current consensus on the most critical web application security risks. The 2021 edition covers categories from Broken Access Control (A01) through Server-Side Request Forgery (A10). Many compliance frameworks, penetration testing scopes, and enterprise security policies reference OWASP Top 10 as a minimum security baseline for web applications.
How DygDog Maps to OWASP Top 10 Controls
DygDog maps all 74 scan modules to specific OWASP Testing Guide (WSTG) test IDs. A01 Broken Access Control maps to WSTG-ATHN and WSTG-AUTHZ modules. A02 Cryptographic Failures maps to WSTG-CRYP. A03 Injection maps to WSTG-INPV. A05 Security Misconfiguration maps to WSTG-CONF and WSTG-INFO modules. Every finding in the DygDog dashboard displays the exact WSTG reference so security teams can trace results back to the original OWASP testing methodology.
Key OWASP Top 10 Requirements Addressed
- A01: Broken Access Control — authentication and authorisation testing
- A02: Cryptographic Failures — TLS/cipher configuration and data-in-transit security
- A03: Injection — input validation across SQL, OS, LDAP, and template contexts
- A05: Security Misconfiguration — headers, defaults, and error handling
- A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components — server and framework version detection
Audit Readiness
When a customer security questionnaire, penetration test scope, or enterprise security review requests OWASP Top 10 coverage evidence, DygDog generates a structured report mapping every tested category to its current status — open, remediated, or not applicable. This provides immediate, auditor-ready evidence without requiring a manual assessment of which tools covered which categories.
Relevant DygDog Scan Modules
A selection of DygDog scan modules with direct OWASP Top 10 control coverage:
Search Engine Reconnaissance
Checks for sensitive content indexed by search engines via robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and meta robots directives.
WSTG-INFOWeb Server Fingerprinting
Identifies web server software (nginx, Apache, IIS), version numbers, and server-side technologies from headers and responses.
WSTG-INFOMetadata & Information Leakage
Scans HTML comments, meta tags, and source code for developer notes, internal paths, and sensitive information.
WSTG-INFOSubdomain Enumeration
Discovers subdomains via DNS enumeration of common prefixes (api, admin, staging, dev, internal).
WSTG-INFOSubdomain Takeover Detection
Detects dangling DNS CNAMEs pointing to unclaimed cloud resources that could be hijacked by an attacker.
WSTG-CONFApplication Entry Point Mapping
Maps application entry points including forms, URL parameters, API endpoints, and file upload locations.
