ISO 27001 Certification OWASP  is an online community developing international open projects related to Web Application Security. Mainly, it was created to develop secure web applications. Most of these projects have documents, guides and tools which can be useful for an ISO 27001 Certification in Saudi Arabia. Because the main objective of ISO 27001 Certification is the protection of information and, during software development, that is also important. Furthermore, a high number of companies don’t know how to protect information during software development and OWASP can be a great tool for that. 

Scope and structure of Open Web Application Security Project

Open Web Application Security Project is focused on Web Applications mainly because everything is currently online: shops, travel agencies, supermarkets, TV programs, libraries, etc. Most of the applications are coded for the web, and Open Web Application Security Project helps developers to make secure code by giving them a lot of tools. Most of them are free and are used for software development processes. 

The OWASP is composed of the following project types:

• Flagship projects (mature projects)
• Lab projects (medium level and still working projects)
• Incubator projects (new projects)

For an ISO 27001 Certification in Bangalore, the most interesting projects are the Flagship projects, because those are finished projects, which means that they are more stable. These are mature projects, and their resources are used by companies around the world.

ISO 27001 and software development

ISO 27001 standard has an Annex where you can find 114 security controls. These controls are generic, although all have the same objective: the protection of information. So, you can see controls related to Human Resources, compliance, providers, IT, etc. Of course, you can also find controls related to software development. 

Controls that are specifically related to software development are the following:

• Secure development policy: This is related to the definition of rules for software development. ISO 27001 standard rules can be to avoid global variables, or avoid some insecure functions during the codification. 
• Restrictions on changes to software packages: They are related to the changes to software packages. For example, you should take care with change in an open source project.
