A client evaluating a penetration testing company requests examples of its work.

Penetration testing reports contain sensitive information about the vulnerabilities and risks of a customer’s systems and networks. Therefore, penetration testers should respect the confidentiality and privacy of their customers and only share their reports with authorized parties. Penetration testers should also follow the terms and conditions of their contracts with their customers, which may include a period of confidentiality that prohibits them from disclosing any information related to the testing without the customer’s consent.
