SECURITY REPORT REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare a phishing report carefully before it goes out.

Gather the reported website and supporting details into a reviewable case. Check that the evidence is credible, identify the appropriate service contacts, and let an authorized person approve each report before anything is submitted externally.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person-submitted website address and details about the suspected phishing activity

“Organize the report and available evidence, identify relevant affected services, and prepare report drafts for authorized human review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a security reviewer organize suspected phishing reports and prepare service-specific submissions without sending them automatically.

  1. Collect the suspected site and evidence

    Record the reported website address, the reason it appears suspicious, and any supporting observations supplied by the reporter.

  2. Check the report for useful context

    Identify missing details and ask a security reviewer to assess whether the evidence supports a report.

  3. Identify relevant service contacts

    Determine which affected platform or hosting provider may need to receive a report, and verify the appropriate reporting destination.

  4. Prepare reports for review

    Draft a factual summary that distinguishes observed evidence from assumptions and includes only relevant information.

  5. Require explicit approval before sending

    Show the complete report and recipient to an authorized person. Send nothing externally unless that person approves the exact submission.

  6. Record the reviewer’s decision

    Keep the approval or rejection, recipient, submission status, and any follow-up in the case record.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A case record with the reported website, supporting information, and draft reports awaiting approval; nothing is sent to an external service until a person approves it.

The handoff

A case record with the reported website, supporting information, and draft reports awaiting approval; nothing is sent to an external service until a person approves it.

Keep in mind

A person must verify the website and evidence, confirm each recipient, and approve the exact report before submission. Never automatically accuse an operator, request a takedown, or trigger an account or site restriction.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the restricted case record

Select a location accessible only to authorized security reviewers and define the details needed to assess a report.

Document evidence and recipient checks

Set expectations for verifying the site, supporting evidence, affected service, and current reporting destination.

Assign report approvers

Name the people allowed to approve external submissions and require approval of each complete report before sending.

Test review and stop paths

Check an approved report, an unverified claim, an uncertain recipient, and a rejected submission; ensure each stays unsent until approval.

Keep exploring

Review security scan reports

Prepare a security report from approved findings and make it available to a restricted team for review before information is shared or acted on.

Review security assessment reports

Gather new vulnerability assessment reports into review-ready security cases, with an authorized owner checking findings, access, and follow-up before anything is filed or acted on.
