Useful evidence should answer three questions:
which product, which version, which decision?
An isolated report can become outdated quickly. To remain useful, it needs to stay connected to the context that produced it: the Asset, its version, reviewed vulnerabilities or risks, decisions made and the point in time when that state was valid. VAST generates views and reports from structured information in the platform and keeps the link to their context.
A product view for people who need to understand the current state, not the entire internal history.
A Product Cybersecurity Status can bring together the Asset identity and version, key composition elements, open vulnerabilities, important decisions, major risks and ongoing actions.
This view can support a product review, release decision or management discussion. It does not replace the detail available in VAST. It gives people a clear starting point and lets them return to the elements behind the summary.

Explain why a vulnerability matters — or why it does not matter for this product.
A vulnerability report should not be limited to a CVE list. VAST can show vulnerabilities connected to an Asset, investigation status, VEX decisions, treatments and the related justification.
This becomes useful when a customer asks why a product is not affected, when an audit needs the history of a decision, or when a new version requires a previous conclusion to be reviewed.

The risk level is a conclusion. The report should show the reasoning that makes it defensible.
VAST can produce a Risk Assessment view that brings together product context, feared events, reviewed scenarios, evaluations, decisions, treatment plans and residual risk. The history also helps explain how the assessment evolved between versions or reviews.
This type of report is useful for both analysts and management: analysts can continue the detailed work, while management can understand why a priority or decision was selected.

Consolidate without losing the ability to explain.
At portfolio level, VAST can present major risks, vulnerabilities requiring action, overdue treatments, assessments needing review or products that deserve specific attention.
The value comes from drill-down: a summary indicator can lead back to the Assets and decisions behind it. Management gets the global view, while teams keep the ability to explain each element when the discussion becomes more detailed.

Give the visibility that is needed without exposing your entire internal architecture.
A customer, integrator or auditor may need to understand the cybersecurity posture of a product without receiving the complete Threat Model, architecture or internal data. VAST helps prepare a view for the purpose with the appropriate level of detail.
Share the ingredients, not the recipe. This principle should remain visible: trust is built with useful, consistent and traceable information, not by exposing intellectual property without control.
