CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 134

A final penetration test report has been submitted to the board for review and accepted. The report has three findings rated high. Which of the following should be the NEXT step?

Answer options

• A. Perform a new penetration test.
• B. Remediate the findings.
• C. Provide the list of common vulnerabilities and exposures.
• D. Broaden the scope of the penetration test.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct next step is to remediate the findings, as addressing high-rated vulnerabilities is crucial for improving security. Performing a new test or broadening the scope is premature without resolving existing issues, and simply providing a list of vulnerabilities does not mitigate the risks identified.
