Summary

Streamlined security documentation to be more actionable and maintainable:

  • Simplified SECURITY.md structure - reduced word count by ~40% while preserving essential information
  • Made response timelines more realistic for small teams (Critical: 24h → 2 days initial response)
  • Replaced verbose best practices with immediate actionable commands users can run
  • Aligned template with main policy for consistency

Key Changes

  • SECURITY.md: Consolidated 5-phase incident response into simple 5-step process, added quick-start security commands
  • Template: Updated to match simplified main policy structure
  • Checklist/Playbook: Fixed markdown formatting, updated contact information formatting

Impact

Documents are now more likely to be actively used rather than ignored due to length and complexity. Focus shifted from comprehensive coverage to practical, executable guidance that teams can actually follow.
