This article will answer that very question as well as why you need a Vulnerability Assessment Report and where you can get one from.

What is a Vulnerability Assessment Report and why do you need one?

A Vulnerability Assessment Report is simply a document that illustrates how you are managing your organisation's vulnerabilities.

The help it provides is clear but why do you need one? As mentioned above, it's likely you were asked for a Vulnerability Assessment Report by the Board, a partner, a client or an auditor as each of these groups needs reassurance that you're on top of any weaknesses in your infrastructure.

Many of the regulatory or compliance frameworks related to security and privacy, like SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, advise or outright require regular compliance scans and reporting, so if the request for a vulnerability assessment report was made by your auditor, it is likely to be for compliance purposes.

How often do you need to produce a vulnerability assessment report?
