Sharing Reports with Stakeholders

Penetration testing results are rarely meant for a single audience.

Security teams, engineers, executives, auditors, and customers may all need visibility into testing outcomes but not always at the same level of detail. RedVeil is designed to support secure, intentional sharing so the right information reaches the right audience.

This article explains who reports are typically shared with, how to share them safely, and best practices for auditor-friendly communication.

RedVeil provides multiple report formats to support different use cases.

Executive-facing reports are well-suited for leadership and non-technical stakeholders, as they summarize results without overwhelming detail. Technical reports are intended for security and engineering teams that need full context to act on findings. Letters of Attestation are excellent for sharing with customers as they provide the least amount of detail about internal organization data that would normally be kept private.

For situations where proof of testing is required without revealing sensitive information, the public penetration testing certificate provides a lightweight alternative to full report sharing. The types of reports we provide are:

Each report is created as a PDF except for the Issues CSV. This CSV is great for importing into a ticketing or tracking system for remediation efforts.
