Gear Inventory , our top Google Sheets inventory app and barcode scanner, has obtained CASA Tier 2 certification, highlighting its commitment to the highest security measures. This certification showcases our dedication to offering a secure and dependable tool for easily managing your inventory.

What is CASA?

The Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) is a rigorous evaluation process that assesses the security level of cloud applications. Based on the industry-recognized Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), CASA provides third-party application developers with:

• A basis for testing technical application security controls.


• A consistent set of requirements for secure application development.


• Homogenized coverage and assurance levels for providing security verification using industry-aligned frameworks and open security standards.

What CASA Certification Means for Gear Inventory ?

Achieving CASA certification means that Gear Inventory has passed a comprehensive set of security requirements, verified by both developer testing and independent lab testing. This includes:

• Architecture, Design, and Threat Modeling Requirements: Ensuring the application is designed with security in mind.


• Authentication Verification Requirements: Verifying secure user authentication methods.


• Session Management Verification Requirements: Ensuring secure session handling.


• Access Control Verification Requirements: Implementing robust access control measures.


• Data Protection Verification Requirements: Ensuring data is protected both in transit and at rest.


• API and Web Service Verification Requirements: Securing all API and web service interactions.

Why It Matters

In an era where data breaches and security threats are rampant, the CASA certification provides our users with the assurance that Gear Inventory’s data storage and login systems are highly secure. This certification verifies that our app meets stringent security standards, making it a trustworthy tool for businesses of all sizes to manage their inventory efficiently.
