Re: Penetration Testing Scheduling



Hey Yousif,
Thats quite strange actually. Why wouldn't you tell them the time? You
have to give them time to get ready , inform various teams to not
panic if they see scans and all that stuff. An approximate starting
date should be good enough; like 30th April 2008. Doesn't need to be
30th April 2008 - 12:00:09:87:675microseconds :)

Cheers
Arvind

I've heard a lot of folks say that telling your customers exactly when you will begin the testing is not suitable, but I'm not sure as to why they that... Can anyone define for me the right approach? -- Do you plan the assessment and let them know it's within a week or so, or do you simply inform them the date and time specifically?
