Your Improved Workflow With Dradis

Deliver better insight to clients — faster

1. Collect Info Before the Project Begins

Create and assign structured, reusable questionnaires for contributors and clients (e.g. Rules of Engagement, Scope of Work).

Submissions are tracked in real time, ensuring you have a complete view of pre-engagement data before the first test begins.

  • Build and reuse pre-engagement forms tailored to your methodology
  • View all incoming responses in one place with submission timestamps
  • Contributors can complete, review, and track their own assigned inputs

2. Import Data from Vulnerability Scanners and Pentesting Tools

Dradis integrates with your existing toolset — no need to introduce new workflows or learn unfamiliar formats.

The CSV importer allows for full control over data mapping. Bring in findings from proprietary tools or internal pipelines and format them consistently across projects.

  • Parse and merge data from scanners like Nessus, Burp, Nmap, and OpenVAS
  • Map CSV fields to report sections using a configurable importer
  • Combine multiple sources (e.g., Burp XML + CSV) within the same project
  • Nessus logo
  • Nexpose logo
  • Nikto logo
  • Nmap logo
  • Burp Pro logo
  • Qualys logo
  • w3af logo
  • Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) logo
  • MediaWiki logo
  • OpenVAS logo
  • Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) logo

3. Standardize and Structure Findings Automatically

Ensure consistency across reports by controlling how data is imported and displayed.

Use the Mappings Manager to define where each scanner field lands in your reporting template — no manual cleanup needed. Then enhance imported findings with the Issue Library, replacing default tool descriptions with your team’s approved language.

  • Automatically map fields from Burp, Nessus, and other tools into your structure
  • Standardize descriptions using your curated Issue Library
  • Eliminate repetitive edits and enforce consistency across projects

4. Add Your Expertise

Automating the mechanical parts of reporting gives your team more time to focus on what matters: Analysis and remediation guidance.

Enrich each finding with context-specific annotations, visual evidence, and tailored recommendations.

Use Dradis to layer expert insight on top of automated data — turning tool output into client-ready deliverables that demonstrate value.

6. Review, Approve & Maintain Quality

Ensure only vetted findings make it into the final report.

Dradis provides a structured QA process with status tracking and change history. Reviewers can mark findings as approved, compare versions line-by-line, and maintain full oversight before anything is exported.

  • Track review status across all findings
  • Use version diffs to audit edits and maintain accuracy
  • Keep QA visible and integrated into your workflow

8. Share Findings in Real-Time

Let clients securely view findings and collaborate without email threads or exported docs.

Gateway provides a real-time portal for external stakeholders. Clients can view the latest findings, leave comments, and track remediation directly — all without leaving the platform.

  • Real-time access to issues, status, and context
  • Inline comments and feedback loops built-in
  • Integrated remediation tracker for faster resolution
