How do I see the severity breakdown for one scan?

Steps

The breakdown is per scan. The Dashboard shows the same idea across all targets.

1. Go to Recent Scans. Choose it in the sidebar.
2. Click the scan. The detail page opens on Overview.
3. Find the Results card. It holds the donut chart and legend.
4. Read the counts. Each severity has its own number.
5. Open Findings. Click a row for the evidence.

Good to know

The legend lists counts such as Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational and Best Practice. The total sits in the centre of the chart. The Findings tab title shows the number of findings, for example Findings (51).

Severity and confidence are separate. A finding can be High severity and Low confidence, so read both columns on the Findings tab. Report filters in the profile can hide lower values.

The PDF report holds the same breakdown in an executive summary. Use Download report and choose a mode: Open issues only, Include fixed & accepted, or Fixed issues only.

From counts to action

Start with Critical and High, then check the confidence column. Click a row on the Findings tab to open the Summary and Evidence tabs. Triage each finding with a disposition, an assignee and notes, so the next scan can tell new issues from known ones.

Compare with the previous run through the Diff tab to see which counts moved. A falling Critical and High count after a fix is a good sign, and a new entry under Regressed means an old issue came back. Watch both.
