 ## Security Considerations
 
-Please think about the security compliance aspect of your changes and what the
-potential impacts might be.
-
-**NOTE:  Please be mindful of sharing sensitive information here!  If you're not
-sure of what to write, please ask the team first before writing anything here.**
-
-Relevant details could include (and are not limited to) the following:
-
-- Handling secrets/credential management (or specifically calling out that there
-  is nothing to handle)
-- Any adjustments to the flow of data in and out the system, or even within it
-- Connecting or disconnecting any external services to the application
-- Handling of any sensitive information, such as PII
-- Handling of information within log statements or other application monitoring
-  services/hooks
-- The inclusion of a new external dependency or the removal of an existing one
-- ... (anything else relevant from a security compliance perspective)
-
-There are some cases where there are no security considerations to be had, e.g.,
-updating our documentation with publicly available information.  In those cases
-it is fine to simply put something like this:
-
-- None; this is a documentation update with publicly available information.
+* Consideration 1
+* Consideration 2
