UpGuard can help you generate an in-depth report designed to outline the security posture of your organization.
Our Breach Risk Report feature generates a downloadable PDF that summarizes the security posture of your organization. The report is designed to be shared with internal stakeholders who may not be familiar with UpGuard. The language is simple, easy-to-understand, and suitable for non-technical audiences.
It can be configured to include automated scanning results, competitor analysis, geolocation data, and underlying risk details.
To aid in remediation efforts, the report unpacks your security posture into five categories: website security, network security, brand & reputation risk, email security, and phishing & malware.
Each category outlines the underlying risks, impacted domains, and provides remediation advice with the most severe risks of each category appearing first.
Generating a report on your own organization (Breach Risk Report)
You can generate a Breach Risk report in 2 ways:
Generate a Breach Risk Report from the Reports Library
Navigate to the Reports section and select from the available Breach Risk report templates: Breach Risk Summary Report and Breach Risk Detailed Report.
For each report, you can choose Quick generate, which preselects report content and sections, or Customize and generate, if you want to customise and curate your report content.
If you select customize and generate, firstly you will be able to select what type of information you want to include in your report, based on risk profile information in the UpGuard platform.
You can also edit the report introduction and add a custom conclusion to capture your recommendations.
Next you can select which domain portfolios you want to include in your report
You can then select from standard frequency and delivery options for the report, and then generate the report.
From the Report Library you can also create a Breach Risk custom report template which can be used by you and others in your organization in the case that you have a set report format that you want to re-use repeatedly over time. To learn more see How to Create a custom report template.
