Security checklists

Checklists runs a security checklist against an application or a release. Keel ships two templates: a web application security test based on the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, and a pre-merge security review based on the OWASP Top 10:2025.

Press Start a run, pick a template, and give the run a title and a target, such as an application or a release. An owner and a due date are optional. Each run keeps its own results, so you can run the same template again for the next release.

Mark each item Pass, Fail or N/A, and add a note where it helps. The run shows how many items have a result so far.

A failed item can become a remediation task. Keel creates the task on the Tasks page with the item, its severity, your note and a link back to the run.

Completing a run records it as evidence for each control the template covers that your workspace has. A control the workspace does not have gets no link, and the evidence is still kept.
