SECURITY
Understanding website security reports
Make sense of assessment findings and turn them into a practical plan.
1. Check the scope
Know which domains, systems and checks were included. An assessment cannot describe everything outside its scope.
2. Read the evidence
Look for reproducible observations and clearly described limitations rather than relying only on a score.
3. Prioritise by impact
Consider exposure, business dependency and remediation effort when deciding what to address first.
4. Verify improvements
After changes, repeat relevant checks and keep a record of the outcome. A point-in-time assessment is not a guarantee of security.
