Do we need to change our pentest provider?
No. PenVanta Remediation reads the reports your providers already send: PDF and Word reports, CSV exports, and exports from Nessus, Burp Suite, Nuclei, testssl.sh, Prowler, Semgrep, WPScan and PingCastle. Column matches are remembered for each provider, so their next file fills itself in.
How does importing a pentest report work?
Upload the report, up to 25 MB. PenVanta reads its text, leaves out page headers and footers, summaries, methodology and appendices, and proposes each finding with its severity, affected hosts and the page it came from. You review and correct the proposals, and nothing is created until you confirm. Scanned PDFs without text cannot be read.
What happens when next year’s test reports the same issue?
It is offered as the finding you already have, matched on title words, CWE, shared assets and the provider’s own reference. Confirm it and the finding gains the new assessment in its history. If it had been fixed, it is reopened, so you can see what came back.
Does PenVanta Remediation use AI?
Only if your administrator chooses a provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama on your own network. It can then read reports with unusual layouts when someone asks for that import, and explain how to fix a finding. Each screen shows what will be sent first, and host names and IP addresses are not sent for fix guidance. AI can make mistakes, so its answers are suggestions for a person to check.
Can it create tickets in Jira or ServiceNow?
Not yet. Ticketing integrations are planned. Until then each finding has a ticket reference field, so your team can record where the work is tracked.
Where is our data kept?
With PenVanta Dedicated, on your organisation’s own private server and file storage, run by us in the region you choose. If you self-host, on your own infrastructure. Either way nothing is shared with other customers.
Can we take our records with us?
Yes. Export everything gives you one archive of every record, the audit trail and every evidence file, and the findings register is available as CSV at any time.
