Generating reports

Acunetix offers many different types of reports that can be generated from the Targets, Scans, Vulnerabilities, and Reports pages. Regardless of which page you generate them from, all generated reports are listed on the Reports page. From the Reports page, you can download your generated reports in PDF or HTML format, or choose to delete a report. You will also receive an email with a link to download the completed report.

On the Reports page, your generated reports fall into the following report type categories:

  • All Vulnerabilities report: a report on all the vulnerabilities detected on all the Targets configured in Acunetix
  • Scan Report: a report on the vulnerabilities detected by one or multiple scans.
  • Target Report: a report on all the vulnerabilities detected on one or multiple Targets taking into consideration all the scans done on the target(s).

The contents of each of these report types will also depend on the report template that is chosen from the list of standard and compliance reports. For more information about these report options, refer to Types of Acunetix Reports.
