Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
ASVS 5.0 V13.2.2 (Level 2): accounts used between backend components need least privilege. Example grants for a database user and a cloud role.
ASVS 5.0 V13.2.1 (Level 2): authenticate backend to backend calls with service accounts, short lived tokens or certificates, not passwords or shared API keys.
ASVS 5.0 V13.1.4 (Level 3): document which secrets are critical and set a rotation schedule based on your threat model. A template and checks.
ASVS 5.0 V13.1.3 (Level 3): document timeouts, retry limits, back off and resource release for every external system your app uses.
ASVS 5.0 V13.1.2 (Level 3): document the maximum concurrent connections per service and what the app does when the pool is full.
ASVS 5.0 V13.1.1 (Level 2): keep a documented list of every external service your app talks to, including places where users supply a URL.
ASVS 5.0 V12.3.5 (Level 3): internal services must verify each other with TLS client authentication and PKI that resists replay. A service mesh can help.
ASVS 5.0 V12.3.4 (Level 2): internal TLS needs trusted certificates, and consumers of private certs must trust only the specific CAs or certs they need.
ASVS 5.0 V12.3.3 (Level 2): internal service to service HTTP calls need TLS or equivalent transport encryption, with no plaintext fallback.
