See what a reviewed finding looks like

This example shows a fictional hotel. It isn't a customer assessment, a security score or a result about your business. It shows how evidence becomes a question for the right person.

Findings

Open any category

Each finding has the same four parts, so nothing gets lost.

C01 · HTTPS/TLSNo issue seen

No issue seen in the supplied evidence

Observation
HTTPS redirect and a valid certificate on the listed pages.
Evidence
Fictional certificate and redirect output.
Limitation
Only the listed pages. This is not a pass for the whole site.
Next step
Keep a named owner for certificate renewal.

C02 · SECURITY HEADERSCheck

Content-Security-Policy header is missing

Observation
The home page sends no Content-Security-Policy.
Evidence
Fictional response headers for one page.
Limitation
One page was supplied. A missing header doesn't show that an attack is possible.
Next step
Ask your website provider whether a policy fits the booking widget.

C03 · WEBSITE CONFIGURATIONCheck

One cookie is set without the Secure flag

Observation
A cookie on the booking pages lacks the Secure flag.
Evidence
Fictional cookie list.
Limitation
What the cookie is used for was not tested.
Next step
Ask your website provider what the cookie does and whether the flag can be set.

C04 · SOFTWARE/CMSCheck

The website discloses its CMS version

Observation
The page source shows a CMS name and version number.
Evidence
Fictional page source.
Limitation
A disclosed version is not proof of a vulnerability.
Next step
Ask who updates the website, and whether this version is current.

C05 · DOMAIN/DNSNo issue seen

DNS records match the supplied list

Observation
The records match what the hotel expected to find.
Evidence
Fictional DNS export.
Limitation
Who can change these records was not assessed.
Next step
Write down who holds the login for the domain.

C06 · EMAILPriority

DMARC policy is set to none

Observation
Record found, no enforcement.
Evidence
Fictional DNS record: p=none.
Limitation
A DNS record alone doesn't show effective protection.
Next step
Review the reports with your mail provider.

C07 · PRIVACYCheck

The notice doesn't name the booking provider

Observation
The privacy notice lists the website host, but not the booking provider.
Evidence
Fictional privacy notice.
Limitation
A privacy policy does not establish GDPR compliance. This isn't legal advice.
Next step
Ask whoever maintains the notice to check the list of recipients.

C08 · LOGIN/ACCOUNTSPriority

A supplied policy and account exception need reconciliation

Observation
The policy says MFA applies to all accounts. The account list shows one exception.
Evidence
Fictional configuration snapshot.
Limitation
Runtime enforcement was not tested.
Next step
Confirm the intended policy with the responsible IT owner, and ask for supporting evidence before deciding on a change.

C09 · BOOKINGUnknown

Booking provider declared, not assessed

Observation
The hotel named one booking provider and one channel manager.
Evidence
Fictional provider list.
Limitation
Nothing about these providers was reviewed. Unknown evidence is not treated as a pass.
Next step
Ask who can log in to the extranet, and whether MFA is on.

C10 · EVIDENCE REVIEWReview

What connects these findings

Observation
The account in C08 uses the same mailbox that receives extranet messages from C09, which is why it comes first.
Evidence
C06, C08 and C09 read together.
Limitation
This connects findings. It is not a tenth technical scan.
Next step
Start with C08, then C06, and discuss C09 in the same conversation.

Read it well

What this example doesn't say

It's not a score

There's no grade, because a grade would hide the unknowns.

Unknown isn't good

Evidence that's missing is stated as missing, never as a pass.

"No issue seen"

This covers the supplied evidence only. It isn't a statement about the whole system.

Fixes aren't included

Remediation and repeat testing aren't automatically included.
