SECURITY & SAFETY REVIEW · Workflow idea

Help the right person review authorized published pages, current link responses, and possible broken destinations before anything consequential happens.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a dated link exception list for a website owner to investigate. A temporary outage, redirect, or access restriction may be misread as a broken link. Check only authorized pages, verify exceptions in context, keep private paths and tokens out of alerts, respect reasonable request limits, and require an owner to approve content changes or removals. Use only necessary information, explain retention, respect consent and source rights, verify material details, and keep external or consequential actions under accountable human approval.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define authorized assets and safe checks

Limit work to approved systems, records, and non-disruptive methods.

Protect credentials and sensitive records

Use restricted access, careful redaction, and an appropriate retention period.

Test false positives and failure cases

Document coverage limits and validate representative results before escalation.

Keep live changes human-approved

Do not test, disclose, remove, or change a live system without explicit authorization.
