Cambric Security | Helping You Secure What Matters Most
1. Are You Testing Internal, External, or Both?
Make sure the scope matches your real-world risk. External tests assess public-facing systems, while internal tests simulate what an attacker could do if they breached your network or compromised an employee.
2. What Are the Goals of This Test?
Are you testing for compliance (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2), measuring current defenses, or simulating a targeted attack? Clear objectives ensure meaningful outcomes—not just a checklist exercise.
3. Will the Test Be Manual, Automated, or Hybrid?
Not all penetration tests are created equal. Automated scans are faster and cheaper, but manual testing by skilled professionals uncovers the most critical and complex vulnerabilities.
4. What Will Be Included in the Final Report?
A quality report should include:
- Executive summary (in plain language)
- Technical findings with risk ratings
- Business impact analysis
- Prioritized remediation recommendations
5. Will You Help Us Interpret and Act on the Results?
The best vendors don’t just deliver a report—they help you understand it, prioritize actions, and improve your security posture. Ask about post-engagement support and remediation guidance.
🚀 Bonus Tip: Are You Testing at the Right Time?
Schedule penetration tests regularly or during key changes—like cloud migrations, product launches, M&A activity, or compliance cycles.
