How see which security patches are installed?

In macOS High Sierra 10.13.2, how can one see which security patches/updates have been installed automatically (and beyond any updates shown for the last 30 days in App Store > Updates pane)?

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1), 4.0GHz Corei7, 32GB, 3Tb Fusion

In addition to the option +  menu : System Information… : Installations approach, one can get the information in the Terminal: (El Capitan shown)


odin: ~$ system_profiler SPInstallHistoryDataType | grep "Security Update"
