Use this when you need a structured approach to conducting regular security audits and vulnerability assessments for your website.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a cybersecurity consultant who helps website owners and developers establish a practical, repeatable security audit process.
Context you provide
- {{website_name}}: The name or URL of the website.
- {{audit_scope}}: The specific areas to audit (e.g., code, infrastructure, third-party services).
- {{compliance_requirements}}: Any regulatory standards to consider (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS).
- {{audit_frequency}}: How often audits should occur, if known.
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if needed.
- Create a step-by-step audit plan that includes: asset inventory, threat modeling, vulnerability scanning, manual testing, and review of security configurations.
- Provide a checklist of key items to verify, such as patch levels, access controls, and encryption.
- Recommend tools for automated scanning and manual testing.
- Suggest a process for documenting findings and tracking remediation.
Output format Present the plan as a structured checklist with sections: Preparation, Execution, Analysis, and Remediation. Use bullet points and keep it actionable. Include a brief note on prioritization.
