Once your Penetration Test has completed, it will show the Finished status on the main results table, as shown in the example provided below:
Completed penetration test example
This table will provide a quick, high-level overview of the scan results. Let's go through the information available to us:
Scan ID: A unique identifier for the scan.
Scan Type: What was chosen to be scanned.
Status: Shows the current progress of the scan.
Started: What time the scan began.
Tests Completed: The number of checks that were conducted against the subject.
Vulnerabilities: How many issues were detected during the scan.
Scan Report: A downloadable report generated by the platform, detailing all of the detected vulnerabilities, and associated recommendations.
Target: The URL, link, address etc. of the chosen subject.
If you would like more information about the results of a Penetration Test, you can press 'Review' on the right hand side of a completed scan, as visible in the above image. You can see an example of this below:

While some on the information on this page has already been covered above, there is some extra information on here that we should cover.
End Time: The time the scan finished.
Initiated By: Which user authorised the scan.
Vulnerability Indicators: These four coloured numbers show how many vulnerabilities you have, and the impact they have on your chosen area.
Document: A downloadable document containing a report regarding identified issues.
If you would prefer to view the identified issues within the OneClickComply platform, rather than downloading a report, they can be viewed within the Scan Results area.
To access this area, simply scroll down past the Document section, as shown below:
Viewing scan results and recommendations
This area will mirror the downloadable report, displaying the identified vulnerabilities, a description of the risk, recommendations for resolving them, and associated evidence that was gathered during the test.
