Security Exposure Audit Template

A practical template for authorized website security exposure audits.

This repository is designed for ethical, legal and permission-based security reviews. It helps organize scope, evidence, findings, risk levels and remediation recommendations for small websites, businesses, freelancers and learning environments.

Purpose

The goal is to provide a clear workflow for basic security exposure checks, including:

• HTTPS and TLS review
• Security headers
• Public technology exposure
• Sensitive pages or files
• Forms and input surfaces
• Error messages and information disclosure
• Basic OSINT and public exposure review
• Evidence collection
• Risk classification
• Remediation guidance
• Final reporting

Important Ethical Boundary

This template is for authorized security work only.

Do not test systems without explicit permission. Do not exploit, damage, disrupt, bypass access controls, extract private data, or perform aggressive scanning without written authorization and defined scope.
