# Reports

> Generate, download, and manage reports for your attack surface, exposures, and security posture.

## Overview

The **Reports** section allows security teams to **generate, manage, and export structured reports** of their external attack surface.

Reports consolidate data from scans, assets, and risk signals into **executive-ready and audit-friendly documents**, enabling better visibility, decision-making, and compliance tracking.

## Generating Reports

To generate a report:

1. Select the desired report type
2. Click **Generate**
3. The system compiles data from scans and exposures
4. Report appears in **Report History**

Reports are generated asynchronously and updated with a **status indicator**.

Each report provides quick actions via the menu:

* ⬇️ **Download Report** — Export the report file
* 🗑️ **Delete Report** — Remove unnecessary reports

These actions allow teams to maintain a clean and usable report repository.

## How Reports Are Built

Reports aggregate data from multiple ASM components:

1. **Scans** — Asset discovery results
2. **Assets** — Subdomains, IPs, services
3. **Exposures** — Detected risks and misconfigurations
4. **Risk Signals** — Correlated findings and severity

This ensures every report reflects the **latest security posture**.

***

## Workflow Example

1. Run or complete a scan
2. Navigate to **Reports**
3. Generate an Executive or Exposure report
4. Wait for processing to complete
5. Download and share with stakeholders

***

## Benefits

* ✅ Centralized reporting for all ASM data
* ✅ Executive-ready summaries
* ✅ Easy export for compliance and audits
* ✅ Full audit trail of generated reports
* ✅ Quick access to historical reports

***

## Best Practices

* 📅 Generate reports after each major scan
* 📊 Use Executive Reports for leadership
* 🔍 Use Exposure Reports for technical teams
* 🧹 Clean up failed or duplicate reports regularly

***

## From Data to Decisions

**Scan → Detect → Analyze → Report → Act**

Reports transform raw attack surface data into **actionable insights** for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
