Engineering with OWASP
What is OWASP and why does SKN IT use it?
OWASP is the 'Global Safety Handbook' for software security—the international benchmark we follow to ensure your business is protected against the most dangerous cyber threats in the world.
Why OWASP matters.
Think of OWASP as the international building code for secure software. Just as architects follow strict safety codes to ensure a skyscraper won’t collapse, our engineers use the OWASP framework to build 'unshakeable' applications. It provides the world's most trusted checklists for preventing data leaks, hacking, and unauthorized access.

Common Questions
Technical and business considerations for OWASP projects.
Is OWASP a piece of software we need to buy?
No, OWASP is a global non-profit organization that sets the 'gold standard' for security. We use their research and rulebooks to configure your other tools (like Cloudflare and SonarQube) to be as safe as possible.
What is the 'OWASP Top 10'?
It's a list of the 10 most dangerous ways hackers try to break into businesses. By building your app to defend against this 'Top 10,' we ensure you are protected against the vast majority of real-world cyber attacks.
How does this help with legal regulations like GDPR?
Global laws often require businesses to show they are following 'best practices.' Since OWASP is the most recognized security framework in the world, following it provides strong evidence that your business is doing everything right.
Does following these rules make development slower?
It adds care to the initial build, but it prevents the 'disastrous delays' caused by security breaches. Building it right the first time with OWASP is the fastest way to achieve long-term business success.
