AquilaX Consolidated Security Reporting
AquilaX provides a unified reporting framework that aggregates multiple industry-standard security assessments into a consistent and centralized format. This enables engineering, security, and governance teams to understand their application’s risk posture without correlating data from multiple independent tools or dashboards.
This document describes how AquilaX generates these reports, how they are structured, and why consolidation is technically important in modern Secure SDLC workflows.
Available Reports
AquilaX currently supports consolidated reporting for the following widely recognized security classifications:
OWASP Top 10
AquilaX identifies vulnerabilities and maps them to the latest OWASP Top 10 categories. Each mapped finding includes risk classification, technical evidence, affected components, exploitability indicators, and recommended remediation steps.
CWE Top 25
AquilaX analyzes code and runtime data to detect weaknesses listed under the CWE Top 25. Reports highlight structural coding patterns, insecure design issues, and recurring implementation weaknesses.
CVE Exposure
AquilaX inspects dependency graphs, package versions, and third-party components to detect exposure to public CVEs. Each issue includes CVSS scoring, affected versions, exploit maturity, and patch availability.
PCI DSS Alignment
For applications handling payment data, AquilaX evaluates relevant areas against applicable PCI DSS security controls. This helps teams identify gaps in encryption, access control, logging, and secure data handling requirements.
How AquilaX Generates These Reports
AquilaX integrates into multiple layers of the Secure SDLC and collects:
Static code analysis results
Dependency/SBOM data
Runtime events and telemetry
Container and orchestration metadata
Build pipeline outputs
Configuration and infrastructure parameters
All signals are normalized into a unified internal model. Each finding is enriched with:
a unique issue identifier
mapped classification (OWASP, CWE, CVE, PCI DSS)
impacted file, component, or resource
severity scoring and risk indicators
supporting evidence (logs, traces, code snippets)
recommended remediation actions
This creates a consistent report structure even when findings originate from different scanners, languages, or platforms.
Why Consolidation Is Important
Modern applications generate security findings from many disparate tools—SAST, SCA, container scanning, IaC analysis, runtime detections, and manual reviews. Without consolidation, teams face duplicated data, inconsistent severity scoring, and long analysis cycles.
1. Removes Duplicate Findings
Multiple scanners may report the same weakness differently. Consolidation identifies equivalences and merges them into a single technical issue.
2. Normalized Severity Model
Each report uses its own scoring system (CVSS, CWE relevance, OWASP risk). AquilaX unifies these into a consistent severity framework, improving prioritization.
3. Faster Root-Cause Analysis
Engineers can trace how:
a CVE maps to a CWE pattern
a code issue aligns with OWASP categories
a vulnerability affects PCI DSS compliance
This reduces context switching and accelerates remediation cycles.
4. Stronger Governance and Audit Readiness
Consolidated reports provide a single source of truth for:
historical findings
remediation timelines
audit evidence
compliance coverage
risk acceptance and documentation
This simplifies internal audits and regulatory assessments.
5. Consistent Developer Experience
Developers interact with a single interface instead of learning multiple tools. Findings follow a predictable format independent of the underlying scanner.
Report Access and Delivery
AquilaX provides consolidated reports through:
The AquilaX web platform
REST API (JSON output)
CI/CD integrations
Export formats such as PDF, CSV, and SBOM extensions
Each export maintains traceability back to the original finding and associated metadata.
Summary
AquilaX delivers a unified, technically consistent approach to application security reporting. By consolidating OWASP, CWE, CVE, and PCI DSS assessments, teams gain clearer visibility, faster investigation paths, and stronger governance over their security posture. The result is reduced fragmentation, improved engineering efficiency, and a more reliable risk management process throughout the Secure SDLC.
