IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

  • Specify that the audit is a simulated analysis based on best practices and public info, as live scanning is not possible.
  • Define a standard report template with sections: Executive Summary, Methodology, Vulnerabilities (with severity), Remediation, Conclusion.
  • Incorporate OWASP Top 10 and other common vulnerability categories explicitly.
  • Add risk levels (Critical, High, Medium, Low) with criteria for each vulnerability.
