What is a Pentest Report?

A pentest report (penetration testing report) is a comprehensive document that details the findings from a security assessment. It serves as the primary deliverable from a penetration test, communicating discovered vulnerabilities, their severity, potential business impact, and recommended remediation steps to both technical teams and executive stakeholders.

A well-structured pentest report bridges the gap between technical security findings and business decision-making. It enables organizations to understand their security posture, prioritize remediation efforts, and demonstrate due diligence for compliance requirements.


Key Sections of a Professional Pentest Report

Executive Summary

High-level overview written for non-technical stakeholders. Summarizes overall risk, critical findings, and recommended actions in business terms. This section enables executives to understand security posture without technical details.

Scope & Methodology

Documents what was tested, testing timeframe, and methodologies used (OWASP, PTES, NIST). Defines boundaries and provides context for findings, ensuring stakeholders understand the assessment coverage.

Vulnerability Findings

Detailed documentation of each discovered vulnerability including CVSS scores, affected assets, proof-of-concept evidence, and exploitation steps. This technical section enables development teams to reproduce and verify issues.

Risk Assessment

Analysis of business impact and likelihood for each finding. Maps technical vulnerabilities to potential business consequences, helping organizations prioritize remediation based on actual risk.

Remediation Guidance

Specific, actionable steps to fix each vulnerability. Includes code examples, configuration changes, and references to security best practices. Prioritized by severity to guide remediation order.

Appendices

Supporting documentation including tool outputs, raw scan results, detailed technical evidence, and references. Provides audit trail and additional context for technical review.
