A baseline report is a Comprehensive Assessment report to which you compare another Comprehensive Assessment report.

In Security Assessment, you can compare two Comprehensive Assessment reports. You set one of the reports as the baseline report, and then compare the other report to the baseline report.

You can generate a Comparison Report for each target database. On the Security Assessment page, the default value in the Differs from Baseline column for a target database is Baseline not set. After you set a baseline report and run a comparison job, the value becomes Yes or No. See the screenshot below.

• If the value is Yes, it means that there are changes on the target database since the baseline report was generated, and possibly new risks are added. A link is provided to the Comparison Report.
• If the value is No, as shown in the following screenshot, it means that there are no changes on the target database since the baseline report was generated. A link is provided to the Comparison Report, although the report is empty.
