CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 436

A new security firm is onboarding its first client. The client only allowed testing over the weekend and needed the results Monday morning. However, the assessment team was not able to access the environment as expected until Monday. Which of the following should the security company have acquired BEFORE the start of the assessment?

Answer options

• A. A signed statement of work
• B. The correct user accounts and associated passwords
• C. The expected time frame of the assessment
• D. The proper emergency contacts for the client

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because having proper emergency contacts allows the team to quickly resolve access issues that may arise during the assessment. Options A, B, and C are important but do not address the immediate need for communication and resolution of access problems during the assessment timeframe.
