A document that specifies the actions, scope, methods, and protocols to be adhered to during a penetration test
The Rules of Engagement document is critical in penetration testing as it outlines the scope, methods, timeline, and contact points, and it defines what activities are permitted during the test. This mitigates the risk of unauthorized or unintended actions that could cause harm to the organization or lead to legal complications. While service agreements, memorandums, and work statements have their respective places in the formalization of services, they do not provide the detailed rules and limitations required for a penetration test.
