Assessment deliverable preview
What a security assessment report should tell you.
Illustrative format only. This is an editorial example of report contents, not a completed assessment, client result, certificate or commitment to a particular package. Deliverables are agreed in your proposal.
1. Engagement scope and limitations
The actual report identifies authorised assets, assessment dates, environment, roles tested, access provided, exclusions and testing restrictions. It explains how limited access, unavailable systems or restricted techniques affected coverage.
2. Management summary
A concise account of the business risks identified, the issues to prioritise, dependencies on your team and the decisions needed. Any figures must come from the actual engagement, with their scope explained.
3. Findings register
| Field | What it records |
|---|---|
| Identifier and affected asset | A stable reference and the tested component. |
| Risk and impact | Severity rationale, affected business activity and relevant assumptions. |
| Evidence | Evidence sufficient for the authorised team to understand and reproduce the issue, with sensitive data handled under the agreed terms. |
| Remediation | Recommended changes, dependencies and any agreed interim safeguards. |
| Owner and status | Who is responsible and whether remediation or verification is pending. |
4. Developer handover
Walk through the findings, clarify the recommended changes and agree which issues will be submitted for retesting. Remediation implementation is included only where separately agreed.
5. Retest and closure record
- Resolved
- The specific tested issue was no longer observed under the recorded retest conditions.
- Still present
- The original issue remains or the submitted change does not address it fully.
- Not retested
- The report explains why verification could not be performed. A developer status update alone is not verification.
A retest covers the agreed findings and conditions. It is not a guarantee that all vulnerabilities have been found or that the whole system is secure.
6. Next steps
Record outstanding risks, actions requiring a business decision and any proposed follow-up assessment. Compliance mapping, continuing monitoring and additional review cycles need an agreed scope.
