+## 🔍 Security Practices
+
+This project adheres to the following practices to enhance security:
+
+- 🔎 Regular vulnerability checks using `npm audit`
+- ⛓️ Dependency pinning via `package-lock.json`
+- ✅ Type-safe code using `TypeScript`
+- 🧪 Continuous testing and CI
+- 🔐 No data is stored or transmitted unless explicitly configured by the user
+- 🧑‍💻 All contributions are reviewed before being merged
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Known Security Limitations
+
+- `checkcle` makes outbound HTTPS requests to check certificate details — avoid running in untrusted or high-risk environments without proper network policies.
+- Output may contain certificate metadata (e.g., CN, SANs, expiry dates) — avoid exposing this to public logs unless sanitized.
+- The data may be lost upon system restarts or crashes. Always ensure that backup and recovery mechanisms are in place in production environments.
