What is the workflow of a penetration test?

Before every penetration test, a personal preliminary meeting takes place as a fundamental step. During this preliminary meeting, the possibilities of a penetration test concerning the customer’s systems are presented. A penetration test only makes sense if it is conducted in a customised and customer-oriented manner. Once the details are clarified, the penetration test is carried out within an agreed-upon period. Immediately following the test, a final presentation takes place, providing insight into the discovered vulnerabilities along with corresponding solution proposals. Additionally, a detailed report is handed over. More detailed information about the process of a penetration test can be found under workflow.
