## Assessment Overview

A comprehensive security assessment was conducted on **{{APPLICATION_NAME}}** between **{{START_DATE}}** and **{{END_DATE}}**. The assessment utilized automated Static Application Security Testing (SAST) combined with manual code review to identify security vulnerabilities across the application stack.

## Key Findings

| Severity | Count | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| 🔴 Critical | {{CRITICAL_COUNT}} | Immediate action required |
| 🟠 High | {{HIGH_COUNT}} | Urgent remediation needed |
| 🟡 Medium | {{MEDIUM_COUNT}} | Timely fixes recommended |
| 🔵 Low | {{LOW_COUNT}} | Future improvement |
| ⚪ Info | {{INFO_COUNT}} | Best practice guidance |

**Total Findings**: {{TOTAL_COUNT}}

## Recommendations

### Short-term (0-3 months)
1. Address all critical and high-severity findings
2. Implement security training for development team
3. Establish secure code review process
4. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) as compensating control

### Long-term (3-12 months)
1. Integrate automated security testing into CI/CD pipeline
2. Implement Security Development Lifecycle (SDL)
3. Conduct regular penetration testing (quarterly)
4. Establish bug bounty program
5. Achieve security compliance certifications
