Before sharing a report with a client, it is crucial to have it reviewed to ensure accuracy, clarity, and completeness. The best choice for this review is a team member. Here’s why:
Internal Peer Review:
Familiarity with the Project: A team member who worked on the project or is familiar with the methodologies used can provide a detailed and context-aware review.
Quality Assurance: This review helps catch any errors, omissions, or inconsistencies in the report before it reaches the client.
Alternative Review Options:
A Generative AI Assistant: While useful for drafting and checking for language issues, it may not fully understand the context and technical details of the penetration test.
The Customer's Designated Contact: Typically, the client reviews the report after the internal review to provide their perspective and request clarifications or additional details.
A Cybersecurity Industry Peer: Although valuable, this option might not be practical due to confidentiality concerns and the peer’s lack of specific context regarding the engagement.
In summary, an internal team member is the most suitable choice for a thorough and contextually accurate review before sharing the report with the client.
