A couple of years ago, I had a whitepaper that AtomicTangerine (purchased by
RedSiren) did on what should be in a penetration test.  It was a really good
whitepaper.  Ask RedSiren for the whitepaper, and then see if that meets
your needs.

Hello everyone,

I was curious if anyone has contracted a third party to provide
penetration testing and auditing for their network and systems?  We
are looking at having someone do an "real" penetration test of our
network and our systems.  I would like to avoid any company that just
comes in and scans our network for vulnerabilities (i.e. a ISS scan)
as we can do this ourselves.  If anyone has any recommendations as to
which companies out there provide the best service,  I would
appreciate any good or bad experiences.


Thanks,

Tim
