CASA Tier 2 Process

CASA tier 2 gives the developer the flexibility to scan their own application and provide the scan results alongside other evidence to an authorized assessor for verification and receives a letter of validation without the assessor needing to access the application code or infrastructure.

Process Overview

Once you receive your notification email you can start scanning your application. 

  1. Follow guidance provided here to scan your application
  2. Remediate any failed CWEs that are mapped to CASA requirements

  3. If you have any valid certification, see if you can submit them to accelerate your review
