    - Exporting issues as reports
      You can generate customized reports (in PDF, HTML, or XML) for issues and send them to developers, internal auditors, penetration testers, managers, and the CISO. The reporting templates in AppScan Enterprise map application security data to key government regulations and industry standards. Use the reports to document progress towards regulatory compliance goals, such as showing a reduction in the number of application vulnerabilities that are associated with compliance issues.
    - Limiting the size of a Security report
      Security reports can be large. During report generation, you might receive a warning message that the file is hundreds of pages long, or the report creation process might time out. Try the following tips to reduce report size.
