14. When I clicked the "Heimdall Lite" link above, I was taken to a different UI and didn’t realize I was on another tab. To access the UI shown above, you need to click the "LOCAL FILES" tab. Since "LOCAL FILES" is not always the default, users may be confused if they don’t see the expected UI after clicking "Heimdall Lite." Consider adding a note to instruct users to select the "LOCAL FILES" tab.

15. Provide analysis guidance. The content briefly mentions uploading JSON files to Heimdall Lite but does not explain how to interpret the results or what specific insights users should look for. Enhance the section by including guidance on analyzing the output—such as identifying failed controls, filtering results, tracing root causes, and prioritizing remediation. Consider adding a short walkthrough or example scenario to illustrate how to use Heimdall’s features for effective analysis.

16. Clarify data security and privacy considerations when uploading reports. The section encourages uploading JSON files to Heimdall Lite, which is publicly accessible, but does not address the potential sensitivity of the data being uploaded. Include a caution or best practice note about ensuring that reports do not contain confidential or sensitive information before uploading to public or demo platforms, and suggest secure alternatives for handling such data in production environments.

These improvements will help users not only perform the technical steps but also understand the broader context and implications of viewing and analyzing their InSpec results.

17. briefly expand on alternative visualization and analysis tools. While you mention ELK Stack and Splunk as alternatives, the content does not offer any substantive information about how users might leverage these tools with InSpec data. Add a brief overview or links to resources on integrating InSpec output with other popular dashboarding or SIEM solutions, so users understand their options beyond Heimdall and can make informed choices based on their environment.
