Penetration Testing Rules of Engagement

Rules of Engagement (RoE) in penetration testing define the boundaries, scope, and limitations of the test. It's a documented agreement between the penetration tester and the client that outlines what systems are in scope, what testing techniques are permitted, a detailed schedule, and communication protocols during the engagement. This agreement ensures that the penetration test is conducted ethically, legally, and with minimal disruption to the client's business operations, preventing accidental damage or unintended consequences.
