Pentest Reports

Download pentest reports tailored to different audiences.

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.

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.

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.

Post-Remediation rating

The Post-Remediation Report rates the current security posture with a letter grade based on open findings. Solved findings and accepted risks are left out. Low findings do not affect the grade.

The grade follows the most severe open finding. Medium findings only set the grade when nothing critical or high is still open.

Grade	Meaning	When you get it
A Excellent	Strong posture	No open critical, high, or medium findings
B Good	Limited gaps	A single open medium finding
C Fair	Moderate work left	2 or more open medium findings
D Poor	Significant gaps	Any open high finding
F Critical	Immediate action	Any open critical finding
