# Sample Executive Summary (Sanitized)

**Engagement:** Security Review (Web/API + VPS)

**Client:** (redacted)

**Date:** 2026-02-16

## What we reviewed
- Primary web application + public endpoints
- One Linux VPS host (baseline hardening + service exposure)
- Deployment/CI/CD configuration (high-level)

## High-level outcome
We identified a small set of high-impact, fast-to-fix issues plus several hygiene improvements. No destructive testing was performed; findings were verified manually where applicable.

## Top priorities (example)
1. **Reduce browser attack surface** by adding missing HTTP security headers (Medium).
2. **Tighten external exposure** by closing/limiting non-essential ports and ensuring SSH is key-only with rate limiting (High/Medium depending on exposure).
3. **Harden secrets handling** by ensuring no long-lived credentials are present in repos, logs, or world-readable env files (High).

## Recommended 30/60/90 plan
- **0–30 days:** Fix top 3 issues; implement baseline monitoring/alerting; ensure backups + restore test.
- **31–60 days:** Add SSO/MFA where possible; add dependency and container image scanning in CI.
- **61–90 days:** Repeat targeted retest; expand review to additional services/domains if the footprint grows.

## Deliverables
- Full report with reproducible evidence and remediation steps
- Secure artifact package (sanitized where needed)
- Walkthrough call to prioritize fixes
