Example findings

Critical

Your credentials are a breach waiting to happen

Hardcoded secrets, shared passwords, and plain-text config files are the most common entry point for security incidents.

Warning

You're shipping fast but flying blind

Your delivery pipeline is strong, but your observability is weak. Every deployment is a potential silent failure.

Strength

You can ship with confidence

A strong pipeline, frequent deployments, and reliable rollback means your team can move fast without fear.
