Generating Your First Report

Last updated: 2026-03-29

Prerequisites

Before generating a report, you should have:

  • An engagement with at least one imported scan
  • Findings triaged and reviewed (untriaged findings can still be included, but the report will reflect their raw scanner data)

Opening the Report Page

From the Engagement view, click the Report button or navigate to the report section for that engagement.


Step 1: Select Scans

Use the scan selector to choose which scan(s) to include in the report. You can select a single scan or combine all scans from the engagement into one report.


Step 2: Select a Template

Choose a Report Template from the dropdown. JuturnaReport ships with ten built-in templates:

Template Best For
Vulnerability Assessment Report Standard full findings report
Executive Report Management-facing summary
Vulnerabilities Table Tabular listing of all findings
Remediation Report Findings with remediation focus
Findings by Host Organized by affected host
Host Summary Table Host inventory overview
Open Ports Report Port and service inventory
Actionable Findings Table High-priority items only
Highest CVSS Score Report Ranked by CVSS score
Vulnerability Age Report Findings ranked by age

For custom templates, see Report Customization.


Step 3: Configure Report Options

Use the checkboxes to include or exclude optional sections:

  • Include Informational findings — includes Info-severity findings in the report
  • Include Executive Summary — adds the executive summary section
  • Include Reference Number — adds the engagement reference number to headers
  • Include Firm Details — adds your firm name and logo
  • Include Assessment Type — adds the engagement type
  • Include Assessment Period — adds start and end dates
  • Include Firm Logo — adds your uploaded firm logo (configure in Settings)
  • Include Client Logo — adds the client’s logo if one is on file
  • Include Watermark — overlays a watermark; choose from DRAFT, FINAL, or enter custom text

Step 4: Write the Executive Summary

If your chosen template includes an executive summary, enter it in the Executive Summary text area. This field auto-saves as you type and is stored per-scan in the database.

Write the executive summary for the specific audience receiving this report — findings counts, overall risk posture, key themes. See the blog post Writing Effective Executive Summaries for guidance.


Step 5: Validate

Click Validate Report Data before exporting. JuturnaReport checks:

  • Finding counts and metadata completeness
  • Host data availability
  • Required fields for the selected template

Results appear in an expandable panel showing Errors (blocking) and Warnings (non-blocking) along with a summary of what was checked. Fix any errors before proceeding.


Step 6: Preview or Export

  • Preview Report — opens a preview so you can verify the layout before committing to a PDF.
  • Export to PDF — opens a save dialog. Choose your output location and filename. The PDF is generated locally on your machine; no data leaves the application.

Tips

  • Consultant-edited titles and descriptions (set in the Finding detail view) take precedence over original scanner text in the report.
  • Dismissed findings are excluded from reports by default.
  • You can re-generate a report at any time — re-export after making triage or content changes.
