Risk assessment reports that carry your consultancy's name, not the software's

When you send a client a risk assessment, that document is a representation of your consultancy. A generic header, a default font and a plain cover page tell the client you are using off-the-shelf software. A report with your logo, your colour scheme and a professional cover page tells them you take your work seriously. With Lytom Assess, you configure your branding once, and every report you ever issue carries it automatically.

Why branded reports matter for a consultancy practice

For independent consultants and small consultancies, every client touchpoint contributes to perceived professionalism. The quality of your risk assessments is what clients pay for, but how they're presented shapes how that quality is perceived. A well-structured, clearly branded report conveys authority and attention to detail. A generic document, even if the content is excellent, suggests less investment in the professional relationship.

This is particularly relevant for consultants competing for retained contracts or recommendations. When a client forwards your report to their directors, or when a new contact sees your work for the first time, the presentation is part of the impression your practice makes.

What you can configure in the report design editor

One brand configuration, consistent across your team

For consultancies with more than one assessor, brand consistency across team members is an operational challenge when reports are produced in Word or assembled manually. With Lytom Assess, branding is set at the workspace level. Every consultant on your team (owner, admin or member) issues reports using exactly the same configuration. There's no risk of a junior consultant sending a client a report that looks different from the one the principal produced last month. For more detail on how the team structure works, see the compliance software for small teams page.

No Word template maintenance

Most consultants who brand their reports today do so by maintaining a Word template, a file that gets updated, duplicated, corrupted and slowly diverges across team members and client versions. Lytom Assess replaces that workflow entirely. The PDF is generated from the structured assessment data you enter on site or at your desk. There's no template file to maintain, no formatting to check before issuing, and no risk of the previous client's name remaining on this client's report.

Reports delivered through the client portal

Once you issue a branded report in Lytom Assess, it appears immediately in the relevant client's portal. Your client sees your branded PDF, can download it at any time and can access every previous report you have issued for their site. They never need to ask you to resend last year's assessment. See the client portal page for detail on how delivery works.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add my own logo to risk assessment reports?

Yes. You upload your consultancy logo once in your workspace settings. It appears on every report you issue: on the cover page, in the header and in any footer content you configure.

Can I choose the colours and cover design for my reports?

Yes. The report design editor allows you to set your primary colour, applied to headings, section dividers and cover elements. Cover page layout is configurable. The output is a PDF that looks like your consultancy produced it, not a software printout.

Do all my consultants issue reports with the same branding?

Yes. Branding is workspace-level. Every consultant in your team uses the same settings automatically. No manual alignment required.

Can different clients have different report designs?

Branding reflects your consultancy across all clients. For clients with specific formatting requirements, customised templates can address section structure and cover content variation while preserving your overall brand identity.

Does the branding persist when clients download the PDF?

Yes. The branded PDF is the final output. Branding is embedded in the document, not dependent on the platform to render it. Clients receive your branded file.
