Reporting by Web Forms

Overview

Fortworx is built around a few principles:

1. Make it very easy to report a security vulnerability.
2. Work as your assistant to move vulnerability report resolution in your organization.
3. Keep track of everything so you can comply with security and cyber insurance requirements.

The first step to make reporting easy is to allow vulnerability disclosure by email. To use Fortworx, all you need is to advertise your Workspace email on your site.

However, sometimes you might want to allow reports to be submitted via a web form as well. The most common reason for this might be to allow anonymous reports to be submitted. Using web forms also lets you enforce some structure on the submissions as well.

Enabling Web Forms

To embed a web form on your website, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Workspace Settings page in your Workspace.
2. Enable the Report via Web option.
3. Select the list of fields you’d like to include in the web form.
4. Click the Save button.

You can now visit the web form by clicking on the View Form button.

Go head and enable web forms. Now submit a fictional report via the web form URL.

Receiving your first Web Form report

All reports submitted by Web Forms are shown on your dashboard, exactly the same way an email report is shown. The only difference here is that Web Form reports are not analyzed by Fortworx.

You can change the status of the report the same way you did for an email based on.
