I know you will receive a lot of responses but a question about you and your business...

Do you have a company lawyer? You will need to modify whatever examples you receive to match your business and customers.

Do you have liability insurance? If I need to explain why then you shouldn't be doing this work :)

Good luck!

Subject: Pen Test Contracts

Hello All, I am curious if anyone happens to have a few documents that may assist me. I am not looking to re-create the wheel and would appreciate any help. I am looking for a few templates that I can use for (of course I would modify them to reflect my organizations): 1. Internal Approval for penetration testing. This is the type you would use to gain written approval from your internal management to perform penetration testing on your own network. 2. Customer Approval Contract for External Penetration Testing - This form is used for getting written approval from your customers to perform penetration testing on their networks. This usually will include the scope and any guidelines for the engagement of the pen-testing activities. 3. Proposal. If anyone has a example of a proposal for costing information for different services. I have found a few on the internet but most are very brief and do not cover what I would think a normal agreement would cover. If you wish to email me directly I would no
t mind at all. Thanks for any assistance the mail-list can provide!! Thanks, Rob Kraus
