- Suggest remediation steps for each identified issue

Rules:
- Ensure the assessment respects all legal and ethical guidelines
- Provide clear, actionable recommendations

Variables:
- ${websiteUrl} - the URL of the website to audit
- ${reportFormat:PDF} - the preferred format for the security report (options: PDF, Word, HTML)

INPUTS

the URL of the website to audit

e.g. https://example.com

reportFormat

the preferred format for the security report (options: PDF, Word, HTML)

e.g. PDF

CAVEATS

Dependencies

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.
