We are thrilled to announce the release of the new version of the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) v2.0.0. With this update, we have set out to achieve several key objectives to ensure that MASVS remains a leading industry standard for mobile application security.
Until now our project was called the "OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG)" project. Unfortunately, this was a source of confusion since we happen to have a resource with the same name, the OWASP MSTG. Not only that, that name doesn't reflect the full scope and reach of our project. Have you ever wondered why the MSTG is called MSTG and not MASTG? Both documents are about Mobile Application Security and we'd like to make that clear.
Today we are rebranding our project to "OWASP Mobile App Security (MAS)".
We're happy to share the new NIST 800-218 (Feb 2022) mapping to the latest MASVS v1.4.2 (Jan 2022) especially MASVS-ARCH and MASVS-CODE:
"Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) v1.1: Recommendations for Mitigating the Risk of Software Vulnerabilities"
Hello everyone,
times change, our project evolves and being able to hear you and discuss with you all is key for the OWASP MSTG project.
TL;DR: we deprecate Slack in favor of GitHub Discussions as our primary communication channel.

As already shared during the virtual Dutch Chapter meetup: we are going to release a new version of the MSTG soon. We have been quite busy with moving it to the new build system first as the document got too large for our old tooling. This is a great incentive as well to think of how we can make the guide more focused so that the size does not matter ;-)
More news on the new release will follow soon...
Hi everybody,
we are all in more or less restrictive lock-down situations, but the guideline is always #StayHome. This is definitely a challenging time for you, but also us. But luckily it was also never easier to collaborate and share, through so many different tools and platforms.
A new version of the OWASP Mobile Application Security Standard (MASVS) was released! The MASVS establishes baseline security requirements for mobile apps and summarizes them in one standard. With this new release we achieved a significant alignment and coverage with existing mobile security documents from ENISA, older NIST documents, OWASP Mobile top 10, and others. The new version 1.2 is available in Github Releases: https://github.com/OWASP/owasp-masvs/releases/tag/v1.2. For more details please look into our Release Notes for Version 1.2 and Version 1.2-RC https://github.com/OWASP/owasp-mastg/releases/tag/v1.2.
We have a pre-release of MASVS Version 1.2. This will be the reference document for further translations.
Want more training apps? We hear you! We just released the MSTG-Android-Java & MSTG-Android-Kotlin for Android and the MSTG-JWT app for iOS. Come and check it out at the release page! With special thanks to Sven Schleier (@sushi2k), Wen Bin Kong (@kongwenbin), Nikhil Soni (@nikhil), and Ryan Teoh (@ryantzj).
