Streamline Penetration Testing Documentation with Flexible, Automated Reports

Core Impact's robust reporting capabilities have evolved significantly in the last few years, empowering penetration testers and security professionals to generate customized reports that align with specific organizational needs and compliance requirements. With the latest version and ongoing enhancements, Core Impact delivers unparalleled flexibility in documenting security assessments.

Enhanced Network Report Generation - Multiple Report Formats Available

The improved Network Report Generation wizard now provides expanded functionality beyond the original spreadsheet-based reports. Security teams can leverage multiple report formats including:

Key Reporting Features in Core Impact

Generate comprehensive reports covering network, web application, wireless, and social engineering test results in unified documentation.

Beyond the traditional Network Host Report, users can now duplicate and modify templates for:

  • Executive dashboard summaries
  • Technical vulnerability assessments
  • Remediation prioritization guides
  • Compliance audit trails

Updated templates support rich media integration including custom headers, logos, charts, and visual vulnerability impact assessments that resonate with both technical teams and C-suite executives.

Reports automatically populate with the latest findings from Core Impact's workspace database, ensuring accuracy and eliminating manual data entry errors.

The Connection Store feature introduced in version 21.6 enhances report generation by maintaining persistent connections to testing environments, enabling more comprehensive documentation of ongoing assessments. This integration reduces the time required to correlate findings across multiple testing phases.

With increasing regulatory scrutiny and SEC cybersecurity disclosure requirements in effect since December 2023, Core Impact's reporting capabilities help organizations demonstrate due diligence in their security testing programs. Automated report generation ensures consistent documentation standards while reducing the manual effort traditionally required for compliance reporting.
