Goals of a penetration test vary greatly based on the scope of review. Generally speaking, the goal of a penetration test is to validate the effectiveness of security controls designed to protect the system or assets.
A Penetration Test should always document the goals of the project. Penetration Test reports and deliverables outline the expectations, scope, requirements, resources, and results. Samples available upon request.
Consider a Penetration Testing program to assess your safeguards throughout the year for a proactive security approach to help manage risk.
