A scan template enables the users to save and reuse a set of scan settings so that they can start another scan more quickly. Bright provides a list of preconfigured scan templates to help users assess their vulnerabilities quicker and more efficiently.

OWASP Top 10 for Web Apps (2021) – The engine runs only the tests for the vulnerabilities included into the "OWASP Top 10" list for 2021.
PCI DSS - The engine runs only the tests for the vulnerabilities included in to the PCI Data Security Standard.
WordPress - The engine runs only WordPress-relevant tests.
OWASP Top 10 (2017) – The engine runs only the tests for the vulnerabilities included in to the "OWASP Top 10" list for 2017.
MITRE Top 25 (2019) – The engine runs only the tests for the vulnerabilities included in to the "MITRE Top 25" list for 2019.
MITRE Top 25 (2020) – The engine runs only the tests for the vulnerabilities included in to the "MITRE Top 25" list for 2020.
API Scan – Predefined tests that are relevant for API targets.
Light Scan – This is a preconfigured optimized scan, during which the engine automatically determines which tests to run, based on the data types that are detected. Some tests will be skipped in favor of speed.
Deep Scan – All possible tests are performed during the scan. This is the most thorough scan, which takes the longest time to complete.
Passive Scan – The engine selects only host-based passive tests to be run.
