During a penetration test, when should the lead tester provide a status report to the client?
At predetermined intervals specified by the rules of engagement or the contract
After each individual vulnerability is found
Only when high-severity vulnerabilities are discovered
Immediately after the penetration test is concluded
The best time to issue a status report is at predetermined intervals specified in the rules of engagement or the contract. This ensures that the client is regularly updated and can make decisions based on the latest findings. Providing reports only when high-severity vulnerabilities are discovered might leave the client uninformed about the overall progress of the test. Reporting after each vulnerability may overwhelm the client with information and may not be practical. Waiting until after the test to report on issues excludes the possibility for the client to make essential decisions during the test.
