Deliverables in PDF format
I don’t really know in what format you deliver your reports to your clients, and it would be great if you could comment on that - but here’s a tool that I’ve used before to turn a word document into an “uneditable” (not saying it can’t be reversed) PDF version.
Reasons why you may want to do that.
1- You’re not giving out a template report document, therefore making it harder for someone to edit/redistribute.
2- Making sure that your Word document isn’t disclosing any information isn’t easy. I’d recommend taking a look at all strings (don’t forget ucs2be) inside the binary, before sending that out.

It’s really nice to see blogs about security topics.
In face I have a blog now, but I am planning to turn it to a security only blog and move other social, or personal posts to another blog(s)
Anyway, I have just added your blog feed to Google Reader

We would give clients a PDF verson of reports. But it is uneditable.
We do offer the option of another formats as well. It all depends on client requirements.
