Source access and licensing

OWASP publishes the guide openly. Preserve the publication's attribution and license terms before reproducing or adapting its content in a product catalog.

Prepare with context

The evidence behind
the requirements.

Evidence needs to demonstrate how a requirement is met within the assessment scope. Keep the source requirement, collection context, responsible owner, review decision, and period of applicability together.

A framework-specific collection workflow has not been activated. The reference material on this page can inform scoping and preparation; it does not establish evidence collection or assessment readiness.

How availability is determined

OWASP Agentic Top 10 is tracked in the registry — authority, version ledger, verification — and nothing else is modelled for it yet. Import its catalog to begin.

Catalog status: Planned. Tracked metadata: we record the regime and its issuing authority for review. Registry presence does not mean automated monitoring is active. No control or requirement model is implemented.

Metadata only; risk entries, threat scenarios, and mitigations are not ingested or released as an executable agent-security module.
