You selected this option
Records of staff security awareness training sessions, including attendance logs and educational materials used.
You selected this option
A detailed explanation of the state of compliance with relevant security controls, as well as any deficiencies identified in the audit and the planned or completed remediation actions.
You selected this option
An exhaustive list of all detected vulnerabilities, the risk scores associated to each, and the technical mitigation strategies implemented or planned.
You selected this option
An inventory of critical assets and their respective classifications according to data sensitivity levels.
A compliance report should focus on how the organization's security controls are aligned with the specific standards and regulations that apply to it. This includes the state of compliance with relevant security controls, any gaps identified, and how those are being addressed. While details about the technical aspects of vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies are important, they are part of vulnerability management rather than compliance. The details of staff training are more related to internal policy adherence and security awareness, not the primary focus of a compliance report. The identification of critical assets might be a constituent of such a report, but it does not demonstrate compliance by itself.
