Secured by Design Application Security: How to Certify Your App

Hosted by Secarma in collaboration with Police Crime Prevention Initiatives (Secured by Design).

Applications now sit at the centre of many digital products and connected services. As organisations build SaaS platforms, mobile apps, and connected devices, demonstrating application security has become an increasingly important requirement.

The Secured by Design (SBD) initiative, delivered by Police Crime Prevention Initiatives (Police CPI), helps organisations demonstrate that their products and services meet recognised security standards. It is the official police-backed security initiative that works with industry to promote the development of secure products and services.

In this webinar, experts from Police CPI and Secarma will introduce SecureApp certification, a practical way to verify that web and mobile applications meet recognised secure development principles using the OWASP ASVS Level 1 benchmark.

SecureApp provides organisations with a clear and accessible way to demonstrate application security without exposing complex penetration testing reports or sensitive vulnerability data. It bridges the gap between technical testing and business assurance, helping organisations prove their application security in a way that customers and partners can easily understand.

This session is delivered in collaboration with Police Crime Prevention Initiatives (Police CPI) as part of the Secured by Design initiative.
