Announcing the External Penetration Testing Program Pack v1.1

Simplified_pentest_process

This release contains everything you need to scope your first pentest, work with a vendor, execute, and get the types of reports you need from an external tester. This will enable you to perform your first product or infrastructure level penetration test, and provide you with a process moving forward for future engagements.

In this pack, we cover:

Penetration testing preparation checklist: This checklist outlines everything you need to scope and perform a penetration test.

Penetration testing reporting requirements:  This document provides a list of minimal requirements that should be contained within a penetration testing report. Before finalizing a SOW with the vendor, look here first.

Penetration testing process workflow: Below is an outline of a simplified pentesting process with an external tester. It aligns roughly with the content in the penetration testing checklist.
