OWASP coverage
OWASP Top 10 monitoring, continuous and aggressive.
Continuous scans cover the misconfiguration and hygiene categories. AI pentesting handles the categories that need active exploitation.
OWASP Top 10 mapped
Categories Barrion actively covers.
A01
Broken access control
Continuous checks for misconfigurations that lead to access-control failures, plus AI pentesting that actively probes for IDOR and privilege escalation.
A02
Cryptographic failures
TLS version, cipher suite, certificate chain, OCSP, HSTS, mixed-content detection. Catch downgrade and configuration drift before a customer browser does.
A03
Injection
AI pentesting probes for SQL injection, command injection, and reflected/stored XSS with reproducible proof-of-exploit and remediation guidance.
A05
Security misconfiguration
Headers, cookies, framework leakage, server info disclosure, default credentials. The category most teams ignore until an auditor calls it out.
A06
Vulnerable & outdated components
JS library CVE detection against your live app surface, with version-specific remediation steps.
A09
Security logging & monitoring failures
Continuous monitoring produces the audit trail itself. Score history, finding lifecycle, scan-over-scan trend. Evidence by default.
What's not covered automatically
The categories that need a real engagement.
- ✓A04 Insecure design, best caught with a deeper AI pentest engagement
- ✓A07 Identification & authentication failures, needs scoped testing of auth flows
- ✓A08 Software & data integrity failures, needs supply-chain context
- ✓A10 SSRF, AI pentesting probes for this with proof-of-exploit
FAQ
OWASP coverage, answered.
What does OWASP Top 10 coverage actually mean?
The OWASP Top 10 is a list of the most critical web application security risks, updated by the Open Worldwide Application Security Project roughly every three years. 'Coverage' for a security tool means it actively checks for issues in each category. Barrion's continuous monitoring covers the misconfiguration and hygiene categories passively (A02 Cryptographic Failures, A05 Security Misconfiguration, A06 Vulnerable Components, A09 Logging and Monitoring), while AI pentesting handles the categories that need active exploitation (A01 Broken Access Control, A03 Injection, A10 SSRF).
What about OWASP API Security Top 10?
AI pentesting probes API surfaces for broken object level authorization (API1), broken authentication (API2), broken object property level authorization (API3), unrestricted resource consumption (API4), broken function level authorization (API5), unrestricted access to sensitive business flows (API6), and server-side request forgery (API7). API surfaces are first-class targets in AI pentest engagements, not an afterthought.
How is this different from running OWASP ZAP myself?
Barrion uses ZAP as one of its DAST engines and credits the project openly. The differences are operational: Barrion runs it continuously against your live surface, dedupes findings against historical scans, prioritizes by impact, ships a hosted UI and PDF/CSV exports, and pairs it with stack-aware remediation. ZAP is a great tool to run yourself if you have the team to operate it. Barrion is the same engine with the operations layer built around it.
Which OWASP categories are NOT covered by Barrion?
Two categories need either business-domain knowledge or human judgment that automated tools struggle with: A04 Insecure Design (which is best caught by threat modeling and design review) and A08 Software and Data Integrity Failures (which needs supply-chain context Barrion doesn't have). For these, pair Barrion with a focused human pentest before major launches or audits.
Are Barrion's OWASP-mapped findings accepted by auditors?
Yes for the categories Barrion covers actively. SOC 2 auditors specifically look for evidence of OWASP-aligned testing under CC7 (System Operations); ISO 27001 Annex A 8.16 (Monitoring activities) and PCI DSS Requirement 11 also accept automated OWASP-mapped scanning as ongoing-monitoring evidence. The PDF and CSV exports label each finding with its OWASP category and severity for direct auditor consumption.
