What It Is
What It Is An automated workflow for auditing website security headers and generating comprehensive security reports. The workflow consists of three main phases: Perform Security Scan Save Results in Table Email Report --- Perform Security Scan This phase analyzes a website's security headers and generates a security grade. Form Input A form trigger collects user inputs: Site: The website URL to audit (e.g., example.com) Report Recipient: Email address to receive the security report URL List & Fetch Headers Prepares the URL for analysis and timestamps the audit Sends an HTTP HEAD request to retrieve security headers Timeout set to 10 seconds for reliable results Parse Headers & Security Scorer Extracts and normalizes HTTP headers for analysis Evaluates 7 critical security headers: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) - HTTPS enforcement Content-Security-Policy (CSP) - XSS protection X-Frame-Options - Clickjacking prevention X-Content-Type-Options - MIME sniffing protection Referrer-Policy - Information leakage control Permissions-Policy - Feature access control Cache-Control - Authentication page caching Grade Calculator Calculates security score (0-70 points) and assigns letter grade (A-F) Identifies missing headers and configuration issues Flags critical security vulnerabilities --- Save Results in Table This phase exports audit results to a structured Google Sheets database. Format Report Structures audit data for spreadsheet export Creates checkmark/X indicators for header presence Summarizes issues and security recommendations Export to Sheets Appends results to Google Sheets for tracking trends Includes timestamp, URL, grade, scores, and detailed findings Supports historical analysis and compliance reporting --- Email Report This phase generates AI-powered remediation instructions and sends detailed security reports. AI Remediation Agent Uses AI to create copy-paste instructions for non-technical users Generates platform-specific implementation guidance Provides step-by-step remediation for AI code editors (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) Email Formatting & Delivery Creates visually rich HTML email reports with: Security grade and score breakdown Missing headers analysis Configuration warnings AI-generated remediation instructions Implementation checklist Sends comprehensive report via Gmail --- Setup To run this workflow, configure the following credentials in n8n: OpenRouter Generate an API key from your OpenRouter account for AI remediation features Google Sheets Uses OAuth 2.0 authentication Create a spreadsheet for audit results storage Update the spreadsheet ID in 'Export to Sheets' node Gmail OAuth2 Configure Gmail credentials for automated report delivery Authenticate with your Google account.
