For improving your cybersecurity company’s sales process, you will need to provide a potential client a
better understanding of what takes place during penetration testing. The sales team has asked you to
construct a general outline of a penetration test plan, detailing what each step will entail, so potential clients
can better understand the process, the techniques, and the tools involved. They also want to provide clients
with the kind of information they will receive from the test.
Write a 2- to 3-page outline of the penetration test plan detailing what each step involves and addressing
the requests made by a potential client. Use the following Penetration Testing Execution Standard
steps/categories for your outline:
Pre-engagement Interactions
Intelligence Gathering
Threat Modeling
Vulnerability Analysis
Exploitation
Post Exploitation
Reporting
