CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001) — Question 168

During an engagement, a consultant identifies a number of areas that need further investigation and require an extension of the engagement. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason why the engagement may not be able to continue?

Answer options

• A. The consultant did not sign an NDA.
• B. The consultant was not provided with the appropriate testing tools.
• C. The company did not properly scope the project.
• D. The initial findings were not communicated to senior leadership.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if the company did not properly scope the project, it may lead to limitations in resources or time that prevent the engagement from continuing. The other options refer to issues that could hinder the engagement but are not as directly related to the continuation of the project as proper scoping is.
