Developing the Security Assessment Report

Abstract

The Security Assessment Report is the document written by independent assessors after they have finished performing security testing on the system. Vulnerabilities are reported in this report taking into consideration likelihood, impact, and threats. Security assessors need to include enough information about vulnerabilities so that ISSOs and System Owners can understand where and what the weaknesses are. With the Security Assessment Report in hand, the system owner and ISSO are armed with all the right information to formulate decisions.
