Note: Before being able to start a new test, users will first need to Request Access to the penetration testing capabilities of the OneClickComply platform.

The available Scan Types are as follows:

Once you have selected your desired scan type, you will then be prompted to add additional information. In this example, we will be scanning a website, so we will be prompted to add the website URL. When this has been completed, click Submit. The Penetration Test will then take place and begin scanning for vulnerabilities.
