- As a metric - To provide a security standard against which existing mobile apps can be compared by developers and application owners.
- As guidance - To provide guidance during all phases of mobile app development and testing.
- During procurement - To provide a baseline for mobile app security verification.
The MASVS is a sister project of the OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide.
