# Security Assessment Methodology ## Purpose Provide standardized security assessment frameworks, vulnerability classification systems, and compliance evaluation methodology for use during security scanning and auditing. Tech-agnostic, applies to any language or framework. ## OWASP Risk Rating Calculate risk using these factors: | Risk Factor | Score (0-9) | What to Evaluate | |-------------|-------------|------------------| | Threat Agent | 0-9 | Skill level, motive, opportunity, size of threat group | | Attack Vector | 0-9 | Ease of exploitation (automated=9, requires physical access=1) | | Security Weakness | 0-9 | Prevalence × detectability | | Technical Impact | 0-9 | Loss of confidentiality, integrity, availability | | Business Impact | 0-9 | Financial, reputation, compliance, privacy damage | **Overall Risk** = Average of factors, weighted by context. ## Security Debt Calculation | Severity | Remediation Time per Issue | Priority | |----------|---------------------------|----------| | Critical | 4 hours | P0, fix immediately | | High | 2 hours | P1, fix this sprint | | Medium | 1 hour | P2, fix this quarter | | Low | 30 minutes | P3, fix when convenient | **Total Security Debt** = Sum of (count × remediation time) per severity level. ## Security Maturity Model | Level | Name | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | 0 | None | No security measures | | 1 | Initial | Ad-hoc, reactive security | | 2 | Managed | Basic security controls in place | | 3 | De
