ISO 27001 Compliance Report

This document is for:

Invicti Standard, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises, Invicti Enterprise On-Demand

Invicti helps you to identify your web application’s shortcomings in complying with ISO 27001.

As an internationally adopted standard, the ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems Standard specifies how the data should be managed. It lists the controls and objectives to increase, develop, and manage the security of data.

Following scans, Invicti lists all vulnerabilities and other issues detected in your web application. But, if you only want to view those vulnerabilities that violate ISO 27001, you can generate the ISO 27001 Compliance Report.
This report lists all vulnerabilities and issues that may infringe the ISO 27001 standard and classifies them according to the sections in the standard. It also displays all technical information for each identified vulnerability and, if any, proof of exploit.
Both Invicti products allow you to generate the ISO 27001 Compliance Report. This report principally addresses the needs of developers and IT personnel.

There can be other vulnerabilities and security issues that can be found in your web applications but not listed in the ISO 27001 Compliance Report. The report does not replace an official one and cannot be used as an ISO 27001 Compliance report.

ISO 27001 Compliance Report sections

There are four sections in the ISO 27001 Compliance Report:

Scan Metadata
Vulnerabilities
Vulnerability Names and Details
Show/Hide Scan Details

Each is explained below.

Scan metadata

This section provides details on the following items:

Scan Target
Scan Time
Scan Duration
Description
Total Requests
Average Speed
Tags
Risk Level

For further information, see Progress, and Scan Duration and Speed.

Vulnerabilities

This provides a numerical and graphical overview of:

Numbers The numbers of issues detected at various Vulnerability Severity Levels
Identified Vulnerabilities The total number of detected vulnerabilities
Confirmed Vulnerabilities The total number of vulnerabilities that Invicti verified by taking extra steps such as extracting some data from the target.

Vulnerability summary

This section provides a summary of information about each discovered vulnerability and categorizes them based on severity. For example, if Invicti determines a vulnerability as Critical, it requires immediate attention.

If you click on an identified vulnerability, you access detailed information, such as HTTP request and response codes and body, about the vulnerability and, if any, Proof of Exploit. If Invicti finds a vulnerability but has no proof of exploit, Invicti presents a certainty degree about this issue.

This table lists and explains the columns in the Vulnerability Summary.

Column	Description
CONFIRM	This shows that Invicti has verified a vulnerability.
VULNERABILITY	This provides the name and link to a detected issue that attackers can attack.
METHOD	This is the HTTP method of the request in which Invicti sent the payload. It demonstrates what Invicti deployed in order to identify an issue.
URL	This is a reference to a resource that contains the issue.
PARAMETER	This is the variable used to identify the issue.

For further information, see Vulnerability Severity Levels.

Vulnerability names and details

This section describes all identified issues and vulnerabilities, along with their Impact and Proof of Exploit. It also explains what Actions to Take and a Remedy for each one, including External References for more information.

This table lists and explains the headings in the Vulnerability Names and Details section.

Headings	Description
Name	This is the name of the identified issue.
Tag	This is the label to group, organize, and filter issues in the target web application.
Proof of Exploit	This is a piece of evidence to prove that the vulnerability exists and information that is extracted from the target using the vulnerability. For further information, see Benefits of Proof-Based Scanning™ Technology.
Vulnerability Details	This displays further details about the vulnerability.
Certainty Value	This indicates how much Invicti is sure about the identified issue.
Impact	This shows the effect of the issue or vulnerability on the Target URL.
Required Skills for Successful Exploitation	This gives details on how malicious hackers could exploit this issue.
Actions to Take	These are the immediate steps you can take to decrease the impact or prevent exploitation.
Remedy	This offers further steps to resolve the identified issue.
External references	This provides links to other websites where you can find more information.
Classification	ISO27001: This provides further information to help you comply with ISO27001 standards.
Remedy References	This provides further information on the solution for identified issues.
Proof of Concept Notes	These notes demonstrate in principle how a system may be compromised.
Request	This is the whole HTTP request that Invicti sent to detect the issue.
Response	This is the reply from the system against the payload.

Show/Hide scan details

This section provides some profile and policy settings that Invicti uses to adjust its scanning to reach more coverage. For example, it lists all enabled security checks.

It provides information on your preference in selecting this scan so that developers have more details on how the scan was run.

For further information, see Security Checks.

How to generate the ISO 27001 Compliance Report in Invicti Enterprise

From the Report drop-down, select ISO 27001 Compliance.

From the Format drop-down, select an option.
If required, select one of the following to configure your report:

Exclude Addressed Issues excludes those issues on which you’ve already taken action. (All Information level findings are marked as Accepted Risk automatically by default. To change this behavior, see Do not mark Information issues as accepted risks in General Settings).
Exclude History of Issues excludes the issue history from the report. If unselected, only the last 10 history items appear in the report. For further information, see Viewing Issues in Invicti Enterprise.
Export Confirmed includes only those issues that are confirmed.
Export Unconfirmed includes only those issues that are unconfirmed.

Select Export.

You can view the report in the Save location.
