===============

How reports are generated, what they contain, and how to download them as Markdown or PDF.

Automatic Report Generation
---------------------------

At the end of every pentest, the reporter agent produces a comprehensive report. This happens automatically — no manual action is required. The report is available on the pentest detail page under the **Report** tab.

What Is Included
----------------

A standard APVISO pentest report contains:

### Executive Summary

A high-level overview of the assessment including the target, pentest date, duration, pentest package used, and an overall risk rating. This section is designed for non-technical stakeholders.

### Scope and Methodology

Details of what was tested: the target URL, whether authenticated pentesting was used, which agent configuration was active, and the testing methodology employed.

### Findings Summary

A table listing all findings with severity, title, and status. Findings are sorted by severity (Critical first) to highlight the most important issues.

### Detailed Findings

Each finding gets a dedicated section with:

- Full description and impact analysis.
- Evidence (HTTP requests and responses, proof-of-concept payloads).
- Step-by-step reproduction instructions.
- Remediation recommendations with code examples where applicable.
- CWE and CVE references.
- Compliance framework mappings.

### Remediation Priorities

A prioritized list of recommendations, grouped by effort and impact, to help your team plan remediation work.

Downloading Reports
-------------------

### Markdown

Click **Download Markdown** to get the raw Markdown file. This is useful for importing into wikis, documentation systems, or version control.

### PDF

Click **Download PDF** to generate a professionally formatted PDF document. The PDF includes the APVISO branding, a table of contents, and formatted evidence sections. PDF generation takes a few seconds.

Sharing Reports
---------------

Reports can be shared via:

- Direct download and email attachment.
- Integration delivery — reports can be automatically sent to configured integrations (e.g., Slack channel, webhook endpoint) when a pentest completes.
- The APVISO API — fetch report content programmatically using `GET /api/scans/{scanId}/report`.

Report Retention
----------------

Reports are retained for the duration of your subscription. Historical reports remain accessible even after the target is retested. Enterprise customers can configure custom retention policies.
