CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 200
Which of the following actions would BEST explain why a testing team would need to reach out to a customer's emergency contact during an assessment?
Answer options
- A. To confirm assessment dates
- B. To escalate the detection of a prior compromise
- C. To submit the weekly status report
- D. To announce that testing will begin
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B because contacting the emergency contact is crucial when there is an urgent need to address a previously identified security breach. The other options, while valid reasons for communication, do not represent the immediate necessity of contacting an emergency contact in the context of a serious security issue.
