Pentest Reporting FAQs
A penetration test (pentest) report is a comprehensive document that summarizes the findings and outcomes of a penetration testing engagement. It provides detailed information about the vulnerabilities discovered during the test, including their severity, impact, and potential exploitation methods. A pentest report is used by a business to understand its cybersecurity risks and areas of vulnerability to attack by malicious threat actors.
PlexTrac is a reporting automation solution that supports the creation of pentest and other cybersecurity assessment reporting. With PlexTrac, users can rapidly produce reports customized to their organizational specifications and branding. Report templates may be fully customized or altered from pre-formatted options in the PlexTrac Self-serveTemplating Portal.
A penetration test report should contain an executive summary that provides a high-level overview of the findings and their impact on the organization. It should contain a detailed description of the methodology followed during the test, including the tools and techniques used. The report should also include an in-depth analysis of vulnerabilities discovered, their severity, and recommended remediation measures, along with any supporting evidence such as screenshots, logs, or exploit scripts. Additional observations or recommendations for improving the security posture of the tested system or network may also be added.
