Re: Penetration Testing Scheduling



I appreciate everyones commentary on what I've questioned, but I don't think anyones providing a definite answer. If it's up the client, then that's done with, it's clearly going to be what they want, not a problem. What if they don't take you up on that and you are the decision maker. I'm getting worthless comments from people telling me that I should always have permission before security testing, but keep in mind that everyone knows that, commentary like that is just useless. Now, to focus on the question, let's say both parties agree to fulfill the security testing, and the contracts have been signed, and the setup in general has been completed. To go on with your testing, do you let them know exactly a date/time O R do you simply let them know it's a week from now.. I'm clarifying this because it seems like a lot of people are giving options, and that's always good to have a choice, but I'm looking more for the "right" thing to do..
