When does penetration testing start on the asset?

Penetration testing on an assets gets scheduled when your asset is created and the licence is allocated to an asset.

Version Number: v1.0.1

Published Date: 14 May 2024

Pen-test scheduling guidance:

  • We recommend 3 scheduled assessments (including initial assessment) before pen-testing. We found this approach benefits customers so that we can build up a clear picture of the asset in question before carrying out manual pen-testing This also allows our customers time to remediate any vulnerabilities we find through automated testing. This ‘usually’ equates to 1-2 months after the initial assessment.
  • A minimum of 1 assessment is required, this gives us a limited view of asset, and generally a shorter window for all config to be in place. Usually reserved for emergency pentests.
    • In cases like this we would still recommend a minimum of 4 weeks to get the initial assessment complete and pen-test started.

If you require an emergency pentest reach out to shout@edgescan.com and let the team know. Please include the key timelines and asset IDs in your request.
