# Pentest Reports

After an assessment finishes, Aikido Pentest lets you download reports from the assessment results. Choose the report type based on who will read it and how much technical detail they should see.

Every completed Aikido Pentest includes these report options. If the assessment has pending credits, you need to settle them before downloading the reports. See [Run now, pay later](/pentests/pentest-pricing.md#run-now-pay-later).

## Report types

When you click **"Download report"**, Aikido asks you to **Choose Report Type**. Each type uses the same assessment data, but changes the level of detail, framing, and intended audience.

| Report type                                | Best for                                                    | What it includes                                                                         |
| ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Simplified Auditor Report** *(Standard)* | External parties, customers, and procurement teams          | Proof of your security posture without sensitive stack details or exploitable specifics. |
| **Detailed Auditor Report**                | Security auditors and technical reviewers                   | Full findings, technical evidence, and remediation log.                                  |
| **High Level Management Report**           | Executives and management                                   | A concise summary of key findings, resolution status, and overall security posture.      |
| **Post-Remediation Report**                | Stakeholders reviewing remaining exposure after remediation | Current security posture and remaining risk.                                             |
| **Letter of Attestation**                  | Due diligence and RFPs                                      | Confirmation that a penetration test was performed, without specific findings.           |

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Simplified Auditor Report** is the standard choice when your recipient needs evidence of testing but doesn't need full exploit details. Use the **Detailed Auditor Report** only when the reviewer needs the complete technical record.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/pentests/coverage-and-findings/pentest-reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
