Problem Statement
Why is a penetration test report important and what key components should it include?
Explanation
After a penetration test or ethical hack, the report is crucial: it documents vulnerabilities found, exploit evidence, business impact, risk ratings, remediation steps and executive summary for non-technical stakeholders. It shows the business value of what was done and helps the client fix issues. Interviewers ask this to check if you understand the full lifecycle of ethical hacking—not only the attack but its business context.
