Cyber Security Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Security Incident Reporting Usability

This Cyber Security final year project investigates helping users submit useful reports without disclosing unnecessary secrets using authorised, synthetic or consented evidence within a defined defensive study.

Why choose this project topic?

A focused investigation of helping users submit useful reports without disclosing unnecessary secrets makes security assumptions visible and testable. The project can use report completeness, sensitive-field leakage and completion time to explain both the value of the proposed control and the situations where it remains insufficient.

How effectively does security incident reporting usability address helping users submit useful reports without disclosing unnecessary secrets, assessed through report completeness, sensitive-field leakage and completion time?

Agree the owned test environment, threat assumptions and assessment criteria with your supervisor; keep the scope focused on helping users submit useful reports without disclosing unnecessary secrets.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the assets, trust boundaries and evidence relevant to helping users submit useful reports without disclosing unnecessary secrets.
  2. 02Prototype reporting forms using fictional incidents, compare guidance variants and score completeness and over-disclosure in approved tasks.
  3. 03Evaluate report completeness, sensitive-field leakage and completion time and document residual limitations.

A suggested research approach

Prototype reporting forms using fictional incidents, compare guidance variants and score completeness and over-disclosure in approved tasks. Agree the authorisation and data-handling boundaries before any collection. Record the baseline, expected outcomes and reproducible test conditions, then analyse report completeness, sensitive-field leakage and completion time without treating a successful demonstration as proof of complete protection.

What you will need

  • Fictional incident prompts
  • Form variants
  • Consent and scoring rubric

Keep your project scope clear

Participants must not submit actual passwords, personal incidents or confidential organisational details.
