The branded PDF reports are client-ready out of the box

I used to export raw scanner output and spend an hour formatting it into something a client could read. DarkStar generates a branded PDF that includes the scope, every finding with its evidence and severity, and what was fixed. It is the first assessment tool where the report is not an afterthought. At $399 a month it is not cheap, but if you are delivering assessments to clients, the report alone justifies the cost. The fact that it also stores evidence and consent in the same workspace makes it a complete package [reference:4][reference:5][reference:6].

Bianca, an hour of formatting raw scanner output per client adds up fast, so we're really glad that time is back in your week. We treated the report as part of the product from day one, with the scope, evidence, severity and fixes all pulled straight from the workspace. Thanks for the kind words on the price too. If a client ever asks for a different layout or section in the PDF, let us know and we'll see what we can do.
