When contracting with a 3rd party to conduct a pen-test we require the following to be stipulated: 1) The names and cellphone numbers of the specific individuals performing the test; 2) IP addresses from which they will be conducting the test; 3) We specify the timeframes (both overall duration as well as limits on time-of-day in some cases) during which the testing will be conducted; 4) That in the event they encounter something which may cause a problem or disruption they are to stop and immediately contact us to discuss how to proceed. The details of the engagement may not be disseminated to all of our internal network/operations staff but we absolutely require this information from the contractor/vendor. I'll normally go back and forth about various issues with the pentester(s) during the course of an engagement. When we are doing pentesting using internal staff we maintain the same terms of engagement with a designated technical manager being responsible for representing the group being tested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
