Secure Design
OWASP Top 10:2025 OWASPTOP10-4: A04:2025 Insecure Design and Business Logic (incl. A11 API Abuse) Address OWASP Top 10 A04 Insecure Design + A11 API Abuse and Business Logic Attacks per OWASP Top 10:2025. Insecure Design reflects missing or inadequate security design including missing threat modelling + missing security requirements + insecure reference architecture + missing business logic security controls + and missing security testing of design. API Abuse and Business Logic Attacks occur when business workflows are abused at scale via automation + scalping + scraping + fake transaction generation + bot abuse. Mitigations include (a) conduct threat modelling at design phase + revise on significant change + (b) maintain documented security requirements + reference architecture + (c) integrate security activities into SDLC + (d) implement business logic security controls including step ordering + state validation + replay prevention + (e) implement bot management + rate limiting + velocity controls + (f) conduct abuse case modelling + negative testing.
Maintained by Gerard Blokdyk · Verified against the published standard 31 May 2026 · Control text last updated 21 May 2026 What else in your programme already covers this This control maps to 92 controls across 79 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
