Assessment Overview

Audience: All client users (with access to the assessment) · Where: click any row in Assessments, or open one from the Dashboard / Analytics.

Overview

Opening an assessment lands you on its Overview tab. The header shows the assessment name, its type badge (Internal / External / Web App) and status (Completed, In Progress, …), with All Assessments to go back. Below the header is the tab bar — the hub for everything about this engagement. The full set, in order, is:

Overview · Assets · Findings · Vulnerability Scanning · Reports · Network Graph · Access · Evidence and Actions Log

Not every tab appears for every assessment — the set depends on the assessment type, the scan mode, and your role, and any tabs that don't fit collapse into a More dropdown at the end of the bar. This table shows when each tab appears and where to read more:

Tab When it appears Guide
Overview All engagements This page
Assets Internal & External engagements only This page (below)
Findings Hidden for vulnerability-scan-only assessments Working with Findings
Vulnerability Scanning Internal & External only; shows once a scan has run (or was enabled) Vulnerability Scanning
Reports All engagements Reports
Network Graph Internal & External only; hidden for vulnerability-scan-only Network Graph & Evidence Log
Access Owners and managers only This page (below)
Evidence and Actions Log Internal & External only; hidden for vulnerability-scan-only Network Graph & Evidence Log

Why some tabs are missing

  • Assets, Vulnerability Scanning, Network Graph, and Evidence and Actions Log appear for Internal and External engagements only (web-app equivalents are on the way).
  • Findings, Network Graph, and Evidence and Actions Log are hidden for a vulnerability-scan-only assessment, which produces scan results rather than exploited findings and an attack graph.
  • Vulnerability Scanning shows only once a scan has run (or was enabled) for the engagement.
  • Access is visible to owners and managers only.

What's on the Overview tab

Recurrence — whether this assessment runs once or on a schedule. If it's a one-off, you'll see "This assessment runs once. To enable recurring scans, edit the recurrence settings."

Findings — a quick count of findings for this engagement with the severity breakdown (High / Medium / Low). View all → jumps to the Findings tab.

Overview details — the engagement facts: Target, Type, Created, Started, and Completed timestamps.

Recurrence clones

A recurrence clone also shows its Occurrence number (#N).

Scope & Setup — what was recorded when the engagement was created: the Targets in scope (e.g. an IP range like 192.168.9.1/24 for an internal test), any Scoped assets picked from the Asset Library, the OVA appliance that ran an internal scan, and — where they apply — ASM access, Breach data, and anything Excluded from scope.

WAF-whitelist User-Agent panel

For a web-app engagement with WAF whitelisting on, a WAF-whitelist User-Agent panel appears here with the exact string to add to your firewall allowlist.

The Scan progress panel

At the bottom, the Scan panel shows the engagement's lifecycle. A stage tracker walks through the phases (for an internal test: Internal Recon → Internal Enumeration → Internal Exploitation → Internal Reporting), with a green check on each completed stage and the current Stage labelled at the top.

Below it, the Activity feed is a timestamped, live log of what the testing agents did — every event, tagged by the agent that produced it (e.g. PoC Refiner, Report Writer, Responder, NTLM Relay). You can:

  • Filter by level: ALL / INFO / WARN / ERROR.
  • Filter by agent with the all agents dropdown (each specialized agent — AD CS Exploit, Kerberos Attacks, Lateral Movement, SMB Enumeration, etc. — can be isolated).

For an in-progress scan this feed updates in real time so you can watch the test as it runs; for a completed one it's the full record of the engagement.

The Assets tab

(Internal and External engagements.) The Assets tab shows the hosts this engagement actually touched, split into two parts:

  •   Tested hosts


    The in-scope hosts discovered and tested, projected from the scan. Search and sort the list to find a specific host. Hosts appear here once a scan has run.

  •   Excluded from scope (ROE)


    The hosts or ranges deliberately left out. This covers both what you declared out of scope at creation and any live hosts a scan observed on the wire but did not test because they were out of scope. It's your record that the rules of engagement were honoured.

A Targets in scope strip at the top restates the engagement's target ranges. (A discovered-endpoints view for web-app engagements is coming later.)

The Access tab

(Owners and managers only.) The Access tab controls who can see this one engagement without handing over broader access:

  •   Direct viewers


    Add an individual member or viewer to give them read access to this assessment only.

  •   Team access


    Grant one of your organisation's teams access to the engagement. (Create teams first under Administration → Teams & Access.)

Tips

  • The Overview is the jumping-off point — start here, then dive into Findings or Reports.
  • The Activity feed is a transparency feature: it shows exactly what was tested and when, which is useful for audits and for understanding how a finding was discovered. For a human-readable summary of tester actions, see the Evidence and Actions Log (guide).
  • A pre-engagement questionnaire may be requested when scoping some assessments (especially web apps) to capture credentials, test accounts, and environment details. Fill it in as accurately as possible — it directly improves test coverage.
