The **OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS)** establishes baseline security and privacy requirements for mobile apps that are broken down in the the [OWASP Mobile Security Weakness Enumeration (MASWE)](https://github.com/OWASP/maswe) and tested in the [OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide](https://github.com/OWASP/mastg). You can use it:

- As a metric - To provide a security standard against which existing mobile apps can be compared by developers and application owners.
- As guidance - To provide guidance during all phases of mobile app development and testing.
- During procurement - To provide a baseline for mobile app security verification.
