Overview

The Reports page centralizes all report generation and management within Vulnerability Management.
From technical vulnerability exports to high-level executive summaries, this module allows you to create customized PDF reports tailored to your audience — from engineers to leadership.
Each report is automatically linked to its source assessment, asset, or change request for full traceability.
You can generate, download, revalidate, or delete reports directly from this interface.

Types of Reports & Their Purpose

Snapsec provides multiple report types to support different security, compliance, and business workflows.
Each report is designed with a specific audience and outcome in mind — from deep technical remediation to executive decision-making.

Report Types Selection – Choose the right report for your security objective

Assessment-Specific Report

Purpose:
Used by security engineers and pentesters to document findings from a single assessment.
This report focuses on technical depth — vulnerabilities, proof of concept, impact, and remediation steps — making it ideal for fixing issues identified during a test.

Asset-Specific Report

Purpose:
Designed to evaluate the security posture of a specific asset or asset group.
Helps asset owners understand cumulative risk, recurring weaknesses, and exposure trends tied to domains, IPs, APIs, or infrastructure components.

Executive Report

Purpose:
Created for leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
Summarizes overall risk, severity distribution, remediation progress, and trends — enabling informed business decisions without exposing technical noise.

Change Request Report

Purpose:
Supports secure change management by validating security impact before or after a change.
Ensures new releases, integrations, or infrastructure updates meet security requirements before approval.

Revalidation Report

Purpose:
Confirms whether previously reported vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated.
Commonly used for client verification, compliance evidence, and closure confirmation after fixes are deployed.

Organization-Wide Report

Purpose:
Provides a holistic view of security posture across all assets and assessments.
Useful for audits, quarterly reviews, and tracking risk trends at an organizational level.
