Making Sense of Security Findings
Security scans and assessments often produce a significant volume of findings. The challenge is not generating these findings — it is understanding which ones truly matter for your specific system and business context. This consulting service helps you cut through the noise, evaluate actual risk, and focus your remediation efforts where they count.
This is not a penetration test, and it is not training. It is a structured, expert-driven assessment that transforms raw security findings into clear, prioritized, and actionable guidance.
What This Service Covers
I help you assess and evaluate security findings from a variety of sources:
- SAST / Code Scans: Static analysis results from tools like SonarQube, Checkmarx, Semgrep, or similar
- DAST Scans: Dynamic analysis results from tools like OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, or commercial scanners
- Dependency & Supply-Chain Scans: Results from tools like OWASP Dependency-Check, Snyk, or Trivy
- Penetration Tests: Findings from internal or external pentest reports
- Threat Modeling Exercises: Identified threats and risks from architecture-level analysis
- Manual Security Reviews: Findings from code reviews, configuration audits, or architecture assessments
How the Engagement Works
A typical engagement follows a straightforward process:
Initial Meeting: We discuss your system, its architecture, and the available findings. This helps me understand the context and scope of the assessment.
Findings Review: I analyze the findings in detail, evaluating their actual relevance given your specific architecture, technology stack, and business context.
Assessment Document: I produce a structured, report-like assessment document that includes:
- Management summary for stakeholders
- Context and objectives of the assessment
- Methodology and approach
- Detailed analysis of relevant findings
- Risk evaluation with business impact consideration
- Prioritized recommendations for remediation
Result Meeting: We review the assessment document together, discuss the findings and recommendations, and address any questions from your team.
Why This Service Matters
Security tools are good at detecting potential issues. They are not good at understanding your business, your architecture, or your risk tolerance. Many organizations struggle with:
- Finding Overload: Hundreds or thousands of findings with no clear priority
- False Positives: Spending time on issues that do not actually apply
- Missing Context: Findings that lack architectural or business relevance
- Unclear Remediation: Knowing something is wrong but not how to fix it properly
This service bridges the gap between automated detection and informed decision-making. You receive a clear picture of what actually needs attention, why it matters, and how to address it — delivered by someone who understands both the technical details and the bigger picture.
