Free CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Practice Question

During a penetration testing engagement, you have discovered a critical vulnerability that could potentially lead to a full system compromise. The client's team appears to be stressed and overwhelmed with the findings. What is the best course of action to de-escalate the situation while ensuring the criticality of the issue is understood?

  • Send a company-wide email alerting all employees of the critical finding, emphasizing the need for immediate attention.

  • Schedule an immediate, one-on-one discussion to explain the findings to either the primary or technical contact before wider communication.

  • Begin with presenting the issues in an unplanned team meeting to ensure everyone is on the same page.

  • Write a detailed report first and then schedule a meeting with the whole team for the next day to discuss the findings.
