Re: Opinions on vulnerability scanning practice?

I'd be annoyed.  It is reasonable to expect the party entering into a partnership with you to seek assurances, be those 
audit reports, recent vulnerability assessments, compliance status, etc.
They may even ask that they be able to conduct an assessment on their own.  However, it is irregular for them to take 
such action without consent.  Very risky and unprofessional, at least.
