Report Sections

Every PDF report contains five sections:

1. Cover Page

Element	Description
Organization name	Configurable via `--org` flag or config file
Scan date and time	UTC timestamp of when the scan was executed
Panguard version	CLI version used to generate the report
Brand logo	Panguard AI branding

2. Executive Summary

A one-page overview designed for non-technical stakeholders:

Risk Score: The 0—100 safety score with letter grade
Finding Counts: Breakdown by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low / Info)
Key Metrics: Number of open ports, running services, security tools detected
Overall Assessment: Plain-language summary of system security posture

3. Findings Detail Table

Each finding is presented as a row with the following columns:

Column	Description
#	Sequential finding number
Severity	CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, or INFO with color coding
Title	Short description of the finding
Category	Scanner category (Network, Authentication, Encryption, etc.)
Description	Detailed explanation of the risk
Location	Affected resource (port, file path, service name)

4. Remediation Recommendations

For each finding, the report provides:

Step-by-step fix instructions
Platform-specific commands (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Links to relevant documentation
Priority ranking based on severity and effort

5. Compliance Mapping

Each finding is mapped to applicable compliance framework controls:

Framework	Control Reference
ISO 27001	e.g., A.12.6.1 — Management of technical vulnerabilities
SOC 2	e.g., CC6.1 — Logical and physical access controls
Taiwan TCSA	e.g., Section 4 — Access control

Bilingual Support

Reports support two languages. The language selection affects all text in the report including section headers, finding descriptions, and remediation steps.

Flag	Language
`--lang en`	English (default)
`--lang zh-TW`	Traditional Chinese

Remote Scan Reports

Reports can also be generated from remote target scans:

panguard scan --target 203.0.113.50 --output remote-report.pdf

Remote scan reports include the target hostname/IP and note which scanners were available remotely versus those requiring local access.

Integration with Compliance Reports

Scan PDF reports can also serve as input evidence for compliance reports generated via the panguard report CLI command (a feature of Scan):

# Generate a scan report
panguard scan --output scan-findings.pdf

# Use findings as input for a compliance report
panguard report generate --framework iso27001 --format pdf

PDF generation uses server-side rendering and does not require any external PDF tools or browser dependencies.
