Getting Started

Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with APVISO in under ten minutes — from sign-up to your first vulnerability report.

Create Your Account

Head to the APVISO dashboard and sign up with your email address or SSO provider. You will receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account. Once logged in you land on the dashboard home page.

Add a Target

Navigate to Targets and click Add Target. Enter the domain, IP address, internal hostname, or local URL you want to test (for example app.example.com) and choose the correct visibility.

Run Your First Pentest

Once the target is added, pentest starts are gated by your self-hosted license, target visibility, and runner readiness. Start a pentest from the target page, or review demo output if real-environment testing is not enabled for your account yet.

Review Results

Once a pentest completes, visit the Findings tab to see every discovered vulnerability sorted by severity. Each finding includes a description, evidence, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance. You can also download a full PDF report from the Reports tab.

Next Steps

  • Set up scheduled pentests for continuous coverage when pentest starts are available for your account.
  • Connect integrations (Jira, Slack, webhooks) to route findings into your existing workflow.
  • Explore the compliance dashboard to map findings against frameworks like OWASP Top 10 and PCI-DSS 4.
