In today's cybersecurity landscape, organizations demand robust solutions offering unparalleled control over sensitive data. Security Reporter is exclusively available as a self-hosted/on-premise platform, a strategic decision rooted in our commitment to data security, compliance, and operational flexibility.
Why SaaS Is a No-Go
Security Reporter is not a SaaS product; it is a self-hosted/on-premise solution. This means that organizations have full control over where their data is stored. As the developers and providers of Security Reporter, we do not have access to any data within a customer's Security Reporter instance—nor does any other third party. In contrast, nearly all other solutions on the market operate as SaaS, meaning they retain some level of access to customer data, introducing potential risks and compliance challenges.
Using SaaS for pentest reporting introduces significant risks:
- Third-Party Access: Even with encryption, a SaaS provider may still have theoretical access to stored data or metadata, which is unacceptable for highly sensitive security reports.
- Regulatory Restrictions: Many industries, including finance, healthcare, and government sectors, have strict regulations prohibiting third-party storage of security data.
- Jurisdictional Concerns: SaaS solutions may store data across multiple locations, potentially violating local or company-specific compliance requirements.
- Data Breach Risks: Even the most reputable SaaS providers are not immune to breaches. Self-hosting minimizes exposure to third-party vulnerabilities.
Complete Control Over Sensitive Data
Opting for a self-hosted solution empowers organizations to maintain full control over their data. This ensures sensitive information remains within the organization's infrastructure, mitigating risks associated with third-party data breaches. While many organizations turn to SaaS for convenience, it comes with significant trade-offs that may not be acceptable for handling sensitive security data. This autonomy ensures that sensitive information remains within the organization's infrastructure, mitigating risks associated with third-party data breaches.
Compliance & Risk Management in Regulated Industries
Operating within the European market entails adherence to comprehensive data protection regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and industry-specific mandates. Many industries, including finance, healthcare, and government sectors, have strict regulations prohibiting third-party storage of security data. By choosing a self-hosted platform, these organizations can align their operations with regulatory requirements, maintaining control over data disclosure and access. Self-hosting allows organizations to manage data in compliance with these laws, ensuring that personal data is processed within the jurisdictional boundaries set by the EU. This approach not only facilitates compliance but also builds trust with clients who are increasingly concerned about data privacy.
Risk Management in Regulated Industries
Industries such as financial services operate under stringent regulatory frameworks that often preclude the use of SaaS solutions due to data sovereignty and compliance concerns. Financial institutions must ensure that their data management systems adhere to compliance mandates. By choosing a self-hosted platform, these organizations can align their operations with regulatory requirements, maintaining control over data disclosure and access.
Self-Hosting Without Complexity: Docker Deployment
Self-hosting is often seen as complex, but with Security Reporter, it doesn’t have to be. Our Docker-based deployment keeps the process straightforward, giving organizations full control without the technical headaches.

Our self-hosted model ensures that each organization can customize the platform to fit its unique operational needs without compromising on security or compliance.
