Sample penetration test report

Most security vendors will not show you a report until you are already in a sales process. Read ours first, decide afterwards.

This is the report a PentestMe scan produces: the same structure, evidence format and remediation detail you receive for your own systems.

What is inside

Executive summary

What was tested, what was found, and the risk in plain language, written for the person who has to decide what happens next rather than the person who fixes it.

Findings with evidence

Every finding carries the request and response that proved it, the affected URL and parameter, and a severity with the reasoning behind it. Nothing is asserted without the artefact that supports it.

Remediation guidance

Specific, ordered fixes rather than a link to a generic advisory, so an engineer can act on the report without first reverse-engineering what you meant.

Attestation letter

A dated summary you can hand to a customer, an auditor or a procurement team without sending them the full technical detail of your vulnerabilities.

Why every finding carries evidence

A scanner can tell you something might be wrong. A report is only useful if it tells you what is actually wrong and shows you why. Each finding is graded by how strongly it was proven, from confirmed through to safely exploited, so you can tell at a glance which items need a fix today and which need a look.

That matters most when you hand the report to somebody else. An engineer can reproduce a finding from the request and response. An auditor can see it was dated and evidenced. A customer can read the attestation letter without you disclosing your open vulnerabilities.

Common questions

Is the sample report real?

It is a real report structure produced by the platform, with the target and findings replaced by representative examples. The layout, evidence format, severity model and remediation sections are exactly what you receive.

Do I have to give you my email to download it?

No. The PDF downloads directly with no form and no gate. You can read the whole thing before deciding whether to test anything.

Will my auditor accept this report?

Reports are used as testing evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR and POPIA. Each finding is dated and evidence-backed, which is what an auditor asks for. Your auditor decides what satisfies your specific scope.

How soon do I get my own report?

A scan produces its report as soon as testing completes, typically the same day. Your first pentest is free, with no card required.
