Reports
Build a vulnerability assessment report for one, several or all products, and print it or save it as PDF.
A report sums up the security of the products you choose: their risk, findings by severity and status, the scanners that ran, and in a full report each finding. It’s made for people who don’t open Portal: managers, product owners, auditors, customers.
A full report has a page for every finding, so it is only as useful as the findings in it are few and triaged: a report of 50,000 raw findings is a 50,000-page PDF that nobody reads. Before you build one, bring the findings down to a number a person can read, say under 1,000:
- reject or accept the noise with bulk changes and let the Auto Validator do it for every next import;
- in Findings triage statuses, count only triaged statuses such as Verified and Assigned;
- build the report for one product instead of all of them.
Build a report
Click Create a Report in the right bar of the dashboard, or of a product’s page for that product only. Then set:
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Report date | the date on the cover |
| Findings triage statuses | which findings the report counts, for example only Verified and Assigned |
| Report type | Executive summary gives the numbers only, Full report lists every finding too |
| Show tracker tasks | in a full report, the task tracker tasks of each finding |
| Scanner list | all scanners that ran, or Only with verified findings |
| Watermark, Company name, Company logo | your branding on the cover and pages |
| Include products, Exclude Selection | the products in the report, or all products except the chosen ones |
Click Get Report for All, Get Report for Selected or, on a product’s page, Get Report. The report opens as a page: Report Preview. Settings at its top changes the settings.
What’s in it
- General Information: what the assessment covered and how the assets were scanned.
- Overview: how many products, assets and findings the report covers, the overall risk score (WRT), and findings by severity.
- Executive Summary: the findings in plain words, asset by asset, and what to do next.
- Assets: each product and its assets, with their findings count.
- Used Scanners: the scanners and how many findings each one reported.
A full report adds a card for each finding.
