🤖Project components

Split your project into components to easily meet your reporting and mitigation requirements.

What are project components?

Sometimes pentest projects can have a wide and complex scope. When testing one application, your scope might include:

1. Web Application

2. Mobile Application

3. External Network

If you have separate teams responsible for each component, manually splitting the reported vulnerabilities by component can be tedious. Even after you've identified which issues belong to each component, you can't send a separate report to each team for mitigation.

Project components solve this issue before it can happen: before the test begins, you can choose whether or not to split your project into multiple components.

How do project components help?

During the kickoff call, the testing team will ask you about splitting your project into components. We start with the example component breakdown in the previous section, but you can discuss any component breakdown with the testing team.

During the testing phase, we will identify which component each vulnerability belongs to, which neatly categorizes your vulnerabilities in the report when it is delivered.

How do I use project components in Portal?

After the report is delivered, project components can be used in Portal on the Project Overview, Vulnerabilities, and Reports & Executive Summaries tabs.

Overview

When you select one or more components in the filter, the page's contents are filtered to display a summary for only the vulnerabilities that belong to the selected component or components.

Vulnerabilities

Each vulnerability displays its associated component or components, and the table has a component filter that you can enable.

Reports & Certificates

To inquire about upgrading your Portal package, speak with sales.

On the Reports & Executive Summaries page, component filters can be applied to the most recent pentest. Selecting a component from this filter only displays pentests containing the vulnerabilities that are related to the selected component, and the filter helps generate a new vulnerability summary.

If you apply a component filter, you can download the report or certificate that only includes information about the vulnerabilities that apply to the selected component.
