Reports should be tailored to their audience—executives need risk framing and cost implications, while IT teams need steps, timelines, and references to patches or configurations. We also discuss the importance of including validation results, remediation status, and follow-up deadlines to drive accountability. Good reporting creates transparency, improves prioritization, and ensures that security findings don’t get buried in unread dashboards or ignored inboxes. Ultimately, a vulnerability that isn’t communicated effectively is a vulnerability that won’t get fixed.
