Introduction

The pentesting report is arguably one of the most important documents that come from a pentest. Do not be afraid to spend a significant amount of time to make this document shine and make sure that you use templates. Make your own template based on those you can find online as an example and remove what you do not need and add what you certainly have to.

Most topics of a report are general but there can be some differences depending on the client’s requirements and the type of test. For example, we won’t include a network scan result if we are only supposed to test a web application.

I will mark the items that are required according to me but of course, you can interpret this as you wish, you are the pentest expert.
