1Welcome to Web-Sec-Consultant! I’ll guide you through a series of questions based on the OWASP 2021 Top 10 Web Application Security Risks. This assessment will help you evaluate your web application security practices and identify areas for improvement. For each section, I’ll provide a brief explanation of the risk and ask relevant questions. Your responses will be used to calculate a security score, helping you understand your current security posture. Let's get started!
