Meeting Compliance requirements in your Application Security Testing program with DerScanner

The thorough testing of application security requires DerScanner, which assures compliance. However, compliance has never been so crucial due to the ever-changing world that is established online nowadays. Therefore, to achieve effective protection of such information, organizations need to ensure that their application security testing meets the standard set in the industry. However, in most organizations, satisfying these compliance needs may be a herculean task, especially given the increased complexity levels of the security frameworks. It is at this point that a reliable and efficientsolution such as DerScanner can be of great utility.

The Challenge: Challenges Pertaining to Management of Compliance in Application Security

Another one of the major problems that companies experience nowadays is the problem of compliance with a set of security requirements. Despite following guidelines such as the OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, these guidelines have to be checked on a regular basis. The last area of concern is that for business, it is not merely a matter of finding these vulnerabilities but also of associating these vulnerabilities with the compliance standards that are implicated. Not doing so may lead to severe penalties or data breaches or reputational loss or damage.

This often proves a problem for traditional security scanning tools because it is not always easy to map a vulnerabilities against compliance requirements. This gap raises a major challenge for teams that are interested in the remediation of vulnerabilities since they cannot prioritize on the most likely threats. If compliance mapping is not properly executed, then cross – mapping teams may end up neglecting certain areas of compliance or even get overly preoccupied with other areas that may not be very crucial as per the operating compliance map.
