Security Audit Workflow

Comprehensive security assessment process.

Phase 1: Threat Assessment

Agents: security-auditor

Scope:

  • Authentication & authorization
  • Data protection
  • API security
  • Dependency vulnerabilities
  • Infrastructure security

Output: Threat model, risk assessment, priority list

Phase 2: Automated Scanning

Agents: security-auditor

Tools to run:

  • Dependency check (npm audit, pip-audit, cargo audit)
  • Static analysis (semgrep, bandit, etc.)
  • Secret scanning (trufflehog, gitleaks)

Output: Vulnerability report with severity ratings

Phase 3: Manual Code Review

Agents: security-auditor

Focus areas:

  • Input validation
  • Output encoding
  • Authentication logic
  • Authorization checks
  • Cryptography usage
  • Session management

Phase 4: Penetration Testing

Agents: security-auditor

Test for:

  • SQL injection
  • XSS attacks
  • CSRF attacks
  • Authentication bypass
  • Privilege escalation

Phase 5: Remediation Planning

Agents: requirements-analyst

  • Create fix tasks from vulnerability report
  • Prioritize by severity
  • Estimate timeline
  • Allocate resources

Phase 6: Fix Implementation

Blocking: Validation required before proceeding

Phase 7: Security Validation

Agents: security-auditor

  • Retest all identified vulnerabilities
  • Regression checks
  • Verify fixes don't introduce new issues

Phase 8: Documentation

Agents: technical-writer

  • Security audit report
  • Compliance documentation
  • Security best practices guide

Phase 9: Compliance Check

Agents: security-auditor

Standards:

  • OWASP Top 10
  • GDPR (if applicable)
  • SOC2 (if applicable)
  • HIPAA (if applicable)

Success Criteria

  • All critical vulnerabilities fixed
  • All high vulnerabilities fixed
  • Compliance requirements met
  • Security tests pass

Severity Levels

Level Response Time Examples
Critical Immediate RCE, auth bypass, data breach
High 24-48h SQL injection, privilege escalation
Medium 1 week XSS, CSRF, information disclosure
Low Next sprint Best practice violations

claude-consult

Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
