Greetings,
I'm pleased to announce the release of the latest version of the
Common Criteria Web Application Security Scoring : CCWAPSS v1.1.
This update clarifies the rating process when rating multiple flaws
associated to the same criteria.
CCWAPSS
=========
CCWAPSS is a comprehensive security scoring methodolody dedicated to
web application pentests.
This scale aims at sharing a common, open and documented evaluation
methodology between security auditors and final customers.
Key benefits of CCWAPSS
=====================
- Offering a solution to interpretation problems between different
auditors by providing clear and 11 well documented criteria.
- Fighting against the "gaussienne" inclination using a restricted
granularity that forces the auditor to clear-cut score (there is no
medium choice).
- The maximum score (10/10) means "compliant with Best Practices".
This score could be exceeded in case of excellence (like a medical
vision evaluation such as 12/10).
- Each criteria is relative to section of the OWASP Guide 3.0.
The CCWAPSS v1.1 whitepaper is available in PDF format at http://ccwapss.blogspot.com/
.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome
Regards, Fred.
