• Description — optional. Explain the application's purpose so reviewers can identify the correct system and scope.
• Criticality — choose low, medium, high, or critical. This prioritizes review and reporting; it does not increase scan intensity.

• Business owner reference — optional but recommended. Identify the person accountable for business risk decisions.
• Technical owner reference — optional but recommended. Identify the team responsible for remediation and operations.
