OWASP Mobile Application Security provides an industry-recognized foundation for reducing mobile app risk, yet many organizations struggle to apply these standards in day-to-day practice. With multiple resources — the Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), the Mobile Application Security Weakness Enumeration (MASWE) and the Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) — teams often lack clarity on where to start and how each standard applies to their responsibilities.

The OWASP Mobile Application Security (MAS) project helps close this gap by aligning security objectives, testing practices and compliance requirements across the mobile app lifecycle. This infographic builds on that foundation by translating OWASP MAS guidance into a clear, role-based view of mobile app risk management that shows how different teams can apply the standards in practice. If you’re looking for a deeper executive perspective, explore a CISO’s guide to managing mobile risk with OWASP. And for a broader walkthrough of OWASP MAS and how the pieces fit together, see a practical guide to the OWASP Mobile Application Security (MAS) Project.

By mapping OWASP mobile application security standards to common roles across security, development and compliance, the infographic helps teams understand where they fit and what actions matter most. CISOs and AppSec leaders can focus on policy and risk oversight, DevSecOps teams gain clear secure design and coding guidance, and testing teams see how to apply consistent, high-quality OWASP-aligned mobile application security testing. The OWASP MAS project elements help drive a coordinated, risk-based approach to mobile app security testing.

Use the visual guide below to see how your professional role maps to OWASP Mobile Application Security and how organizations put these standards into action to reduce risk and strengthen security, privacy and compliance across mobile applications.
