Web Application Assessment Slides & OWASP 2025 PDF Example

Present the application assessment with the same findings and OWASP mappings as the detailed report. This native A4 landscape template keeps evidence limits and correction ownership visible.

Versioned OWASP coverage with evidence and limits.

The coverage section lists all ten OWASP Top 10:2025 categories, including Software Supply Chain Failures and Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions. Each row has an editable assessment status and an evidence or limitation field.

Use coverage statuses to distinguish assessed controls, partial evidence and unassessed areas. Link findings to the relevant OWASP categories without treating an empty finding count as proof of coverage.

The download is an editable native Vulnotes template in A4 landscape format. The example PDF is exported from a saved demonstration report.

Preparing an evidence-based audit briefing

The guidance below describes how to scope and document the work. It does not imply that every topic is covered by the sample PDF. Record the reference editions used in your own engagement.

Keep the briefing aligned with the application report

These slides are an example of an audit-results presentation for an OWASP web application assessment. Use them to present scope, conclusions, coverage, key findings and remediation priorities while keeping the detailed report available as the supporting evidence record.

For a new engagement, update application release, role and tenant context, evidence limits, finding summaries and owners together. A presentation that retains old scores or category counts after the report changes can misstate the review. Check both deliverables against the same approved finding set.

Explain what the coverage table does and does not mean

The table includes A01-A10 from the web application Top 10:2025. A category status describes the documented coverage, not certification. Do not replace partial or unassessed entries with pass merely because no finding is listed. Keep category count, finding count and severity distribution distinct.

For questions about verification depth, refer readers to the detailed methodology and its versioned requirements, such as ASVS. The briefing should make those evidence boundaries understandable without reproducing the entire technical report.

Adapt the fixed finding slides and verify the exported result

Finding-summary pages combine report-linked score tables with editable summaries and owner fields. When adding, removing or reordering findings, review both the data bindings and the narrative to keep the presentation consistent with the report.

Keep the displayed CVSS version and vector in the underlying report and use the slides for concise severity and action context. The download is native Vulnotes template in A4 landscape format. You can change the page design, tables, images, labels and content, then preview and export the presentation as PDF.

Inside this example presentation

The 11-page PDF shows how the presentation is organized. Its example content illustrates the layout; adapt it to the scope and evidence of your own engagement.

  1. 01

    Scope and conclusions

    Identify the application release, evidence sources, tenant contexts and assessment boundaries.

  2. 02

    OWASP Top 10:2025 coverage

    One table lists A01-A10 with explicit status, finding references and evidence limitations.

  3. 03

    Finding briefings

    Editable finding slides present observations, OWASP mappings, recommended corrections and accountable owners.

  4. 04

    Remediation and closure

    Keep planned dates, correction ownership and required acceptance evidence separate from completed retest results.

Make the report useful to its readers

Pin the framework version

Retain the 2025 identifiers and category names. Review mappings explicitly when changing editions.

Document the evidence boundary

Explain the scope behind each coverage status. Record unassessed categories and avoid unsupported pass or compliance claims.

Keep report and slides consistent

Use the same finding references, OWASP categories and remediation owners across both deliverables.

From your finished report to a client debrief

Once your audit report is ready, switch to a presentation template in Vulnotes to prepare your client debrief. Reuse the report data and findings in a layout designed to present conclusions, priorities and next steps, without starting a separate presentation from scratch.

Review the template’s field and language requirements, complete any presentation-specific summaries and check the preview before exporting. Content fields not used by the selected template remain saved. You can also duplicate the report with a presentation template to keep the written report and briefing as separate deliverables.

Make it your own in Vulnotes

  1. 1

    Download your template from Vulnotes Manager

    Sign in to Vulnotes Manager, download this template and add it to your instance. Select it when creating a report to reuse its layout, report variables and finding sections. The public PDF shows an example of the finished output.

  2. 2

    Let Vulnotes fill the connected variables

    The template includes variables connected to your report: client details, engagement dates, findings and severity statistics where used. Vulnotes fills these from the data saved in your report. Add your findings and complete assessment-specific sections such as scope, analysis and conclusions; automatic population does not replace that work. Match the finding fields and categories expected by the template.

  3. 3

    Edit the structure and visual design

    Change page layout, orientation, margins, fonts, colors, branding, headers and footers in the template editor. Edit or replace tables, chart settings, images, code blocks and section labels. Heading numbering and the table of contents can be adapted to your delivery conventions. Text embedded inside an image must be changed in the source image or replaced.

  4. 4

    Adapt the data bindings

    Report variables hold engagement-specific content. Finding loops and filters control repeatable sections; charts and score tables can use report data. Review these bindings when renaming fields or changing the finding structure. Individually authored slide summaries still need editorial updates when findings change.

  5. 5

    Write, review and deliver

    Create your report with its client, scope and dates. Replace the example content, add your findings, review the preview and export the finished document.

Three ways to create and adapt your templates

Use the template editor

Start with a Manager template or create your own in the visual editor. Change the layout, branding, content and variables, then preview the result with your report data.

Template editor documentation

Import your existing Word document

Import a DOCX report into Vulnotes as an editable template draft. Review conversion warnings and page layout, then connect report variables and finding sections before reusing it. Complex Word formatting may need adjustments.

DOCX import documentation

Create and edit through MCP

Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to Vulnotes to create templates or edit pages, elements, variables and styling. Access follows your API key permissions. Review the changes and preview the document before using it for client delivery.

Common questions

Which OWASP version does this template use?

OWASP Top 10:2025. This is the web application Top 10, distinct from the API Security Top 10 and MASVS.

Does using this template establish complete OWASP coverage?

No. Coverage depends on the work performed and evidence recorded for your engagement. OWASP Top 10 is an awareness taxonomy, not a complete verification checklist or certification.

Can I reuse the example as an audit result?

No. Complete the template using your actual scope, findings, evidence and review decisions before client delivery.

How do I use these slides in Vulnotes?

Use this native Vulnotes template with its editable A4 landscape pages and report variables. The public PDF demonstrates the layout.

What export formats are available in Vulnotes?

Vulnotes exports reports as PDF, editable Word documents (DOCX), Excel spreadsheets (XLSX), structured report data (JSON), and ZIP archives containing the report PDF and attachments, with optional password protection. XLSX lets you select finding fields and report content sections. You can also export selected findings as a partial PDF or DOCX report. The client portal additionally offers CSV exports of findings when enabled by the administrator. Read the export documentation.
