Hi,
No such standard exists, and if it did, it shouldn't. We also have
clients that request such a thing but we do not give them anything like
it because it is utterly useless (change 1 bit or discover 1 new vuln
and any statement has become BS) and potentially a liability for the
issuing party. Instead we try to educate the client on why it is useless
and what they should do in stead (such as do a real audit and get an
audit report or SAS70 report or TPA).
Cheers!

Subject: Pentest Letter of Achievement/Certificate
--- Virus checked / op virussen gecontroleerd ---
Hi,
any of you know if any 'standards' or accepted guidelines exist for a
letter or certification of succesfull resistance to Penetration
Testing/Vulnerability Assessment.
Customers often
demand to have a proof delivered by their Penetration Test service
provider to show to their partners and customers.
The idea of course is not to disclose sensitive information but to
briefly describe the environment tested and how - according to which
methodologies and the attack vectors tested for.
Thanks in advance
