Security testing reports are the deliverables that typically contain detailed results of the security evaluations performed. These reports include the types of tests conducted, such as static and dynamic analysis, penetration testing, and code reviews, as well as the number and types of vulnerabilities discovered. The purpose of these reports is to document the security posture of the software at the time of testing and to provide a basis for remediation efforts.

References: The information aligns with best practices in secure software development, which emphasize the importance of documenting security requirements and conducting risk analysis during the design phase to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities early in the SDLC12.

After completing vulnerability scans and penetration analysis, security testers document the results to share with stakeholders, such as the organization’s largest customers. The deliverable being prepared in this context is the Security testing reports. These reports typically include detailed findings from the security assessments, explanations of the vulnerabilities discovered, the potential risks they pose, and recommendations for remediation. The purpose of these reports is to provide transparency about the security posture of the software or system and to guide the organization in addressing the identified security issues12. References: 1, 2
