TSS-WEB

This is the official site of TSS-WEB, an open framework of ~200 baseline requirements that you can use for your web development security standard, policy, or security concept. All of these requirements are based on common best practices (including those from OWASP, SAFECode, ISO/IEC 27002, NIST and BSI) plus our own experiences in this field.

For instance, TSS-WEB also meets 14.2.1 control ("Secure Development Policy") of ISO/IEC 27002. Detailed compliance mappings are provided in appendix B to E.

TSS-WEB 2.0 Online (November 2020)

We are currently working on the new release. The wiki content is currently undergoing full revision and will be updated regularly. The new release will be available shortly.

Objective

The objective of TSS-WEB is to provide a framework of language-independent application security requirements that can be used by organizations as a baseline to implement their own security standards or policies for their web development.

Secure Coding Guidelines

TSS-WEB provides high-level requirements that can be used to derive secure coding guidelines for specific languages and frameworks.

If you are interested in comprehensive secure coding guidelines that complement these requirements, you might want to have a look at our Security Guidelines for Confluence that we provide as an export for Atlassian Confluence. It includes a comprehensive threat library, secure coding guidelines, and implementation notes for a number of programming languages and frameworks including Java, JSF, Spring, ASP.NET, Angular, Javascript, and Node.js that you can extend to your own need or that we update for you on a regular basis. Here is what it looks like:
