There's a variety of techniques for this. Generally, it's best to just

doing this. Alternatively, one can adopt a security maturity model (such
as SSE-CMM) and use that to compare maturity against other organizations.

Hi,

Is there a security criteria or matrix against which we could grade
customer's pen test results? Like assigning them grade between A to E
or 1 to 10.
