Security Assessment Report Template (Free)

A security assessment report should include: introduction and objectives, executive summary, assessment scope, findings with CVSS severity, and remediation recommendations. This template follows standards referenced by OWASP and CIS benchmarks for structured delivery to leadership and technical teams.

What a security assessment report should include

Open with purpose, objectives, and limitations. Define scope boundaries — systems, dates, and standards applied. Each finding should state severity, affected location, description, and a concrete remediation path.

Executive summary

Summarize overall posture for leadership: key risks, finding counts by severity, and top remediation priorities. Keep technical detail in individual finding sections.

Findings & severity (CVSS)

Rate each finding with CVSS 3.1 base scores per FIRST. Include the vector string so stakeholders can validate your severity rationale.

Remediation

Every finding needs actionable remediation — configuration changes, policy updates, or compensating controls. Tie recommendations to relevant frameworks where applicable.
