Penetration Testing Report Template (Free & Editable)

A professional penetration testing report template — also available as a pentest report template. Download the Markdown file or generate a filled report with CVSS scoring and AI-drafted findings in PoCcraft.

A penetration testing report should include: executive summary, scope and methodology, findings with CVSS severity, proof of concept, impact, and remediation. This free pentest report template follows OWASP and PTES conventions used by professional testers.

What a pentest report should include

Client-ready pentest reporting covers scope boundaries, testing approach, a findings summary table, and detailed write-ups per vulnerability with CWE references where applicable.

Executive summary section

Lead with business risk: count of findings by severity, overall posture, and top three priorities. Executives read this first — keep technical detail in individual findings.

Findings & severity (CVSS)

Rate each finding with CVSS 3.1 base scores per FIRST. Include the vector string so clients can reproduce your severity rationale.

Remediation

Every finding needs actionable remediation — specific configuration changes, code fixes, or compensating controls. Tie recommendations to OWASP categories where relevant.
