CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 53

Eight months after the completion of a penetration test, the client emails the penetration tester to debate the validity of several findings. The findings are now posing a hindrance to compliance certifications. Which of the following would most likely assist the penetration tester with de-escalation?

Answer options

• A. Testing methodology
• B. Terms of use
• C. Business impact analysis
• D. Client acceptance

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Client acceptance, as it indicates that the client acknowledged and accepted the findings during the testing phase, which can help mitigate disputes. The other options, while relevant to the testing process, do not directly address the client's concerns or aid in resolving the issue at hand.
