Security Assessment Report Writing

Key points for the assessment report:

Confidentiality Statement: A vital section of the report stating that it contains proprietary and confidential information - Duplication, redistribution, or use, in whole or in part, in any form, requires consent from both parties.
Security Assessment 'Snapshot': The assessment is limited to the period it was conducted and presents a 'snapshot in time' of the security posture of the client's security measures and systems. The findings and recommendations reflect the information gathered during the assessment, not any changes or modifications made outside that period.
Time Limited Engagements: Do not allow for a complete evaluation of all security controls. [Client Name] prioritized the assessment to identify the weakest security controls an attack could exploit ('low hanging fruit'). It is recommended that similar assessments be conducted on an annual basis by internal or third-party assessors to ensure the continued success of the controls.
