Why it works
1
Say you had permission
Any test of a real system needs it, and a security lead will look for it. “With the department’s written permission” belongs in the bullet.
2
Count findings and fixes
“Found 5 issues, all fixed before the next registration” shows the full loop: find, report, follow through.
3
Cloud shows up a lot
Security postings in our count name Azure, AWS and GCP often. Even one bullet of cloud work helps.
