During the pre-engagement phase of an assessment, which formal document is used to specify exact IP address ranges, testing schedule, and prohibited attack techniques, thereby limiting each party's legal liability?
Statement of work
Master services agreement
Rules of engagement
Non-disclosure agreement
The rules of engagement (RoE) document is prepared before testing begins and spells out operational boundaries: which systems may be touched, the hours testing may occur, techniques that are off-limits, and points of contact. By defining scope and constraints in writing, the RoE protects both the client and the tester from accidental law or policy violations. A statement of work may outline deliverables and cost but usually lacks detailed technical restrictions. A non-disclosure agreement focuses only on confidentiality, while a master services agreement governs overall business terms; neither establishes day-to-day testing limits. Therefore, the RoE is the correct choice.
