  5. Provide context: Provide context for each finding, including technical details, such as the affected system, version number, and vulnerability type, as well as the potential impact on the target environment.

  6. Prioritize the findings: Prioritize the findings based on their severity level and potential impact on the target environment, to help stakeholders understand the most critical issues.

  7. Provide evidence: Provide evidence to support each finding, such as screenshots, logs, or other relevant data.

  8. Include remediation recommendations: Include clear and actionable recommendations for mitigating or remedying each finding, based on the specific context of the target environment.

  9. Align with stakeholder goals: Align the findings with stakeholder goals and objectives, such as compliance requirements, business priorities, and risk management strategies.
