Your Pentest Checklist

In previous sections, you’ve saved what you’ve entered for the pentest. Now you can review your work. Before selecting Submit For Review, follow this checklist for Objectives and Details.

For both tabs, you can select Edit to make changes.

Objectives

Under the Objectives tab, you can review:

• Targets in scope
• Objectives, which define methodologies that our pentesters use as a checklist
• Test credentials
• Asset for which you’re setting up the pentest
• Technology stack behind your asset
• Test period, scoping parameters, and required credits

To view more pentest details, navigate to the Settings tab > Objectives.

Additional Requests

You can specify special requirements for pentesters. For example, if industry, company, or national regulations require that you limit pentesters to residents of one or more countries, you can request this.

1. On the pentest page, navigate to Settings, and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
2. Select Show advanced options, and add your notes under Additional requests.

We can’t guarantee that we’ll accept your additional request. This may also delay scheduling the pentest.

Details

Under the Details tab, you can review:

• The target environment for your asset
• Rate-limiting controls
• Cloud platform components
• Additional guidelines
• Test data sensitivity

Reports

You can download a pentest report to view security issues that our pentesters found.

Co-branded Reports

If your organization manages pentests for third parties, you can add your company logo to all reports. In co-branded reports, your company logo appears next to the Cobalt logo.

An Organization Owner of a partner company can enable co-branded reports.

When You’re Ready

If you’re ready with your pentest, select Submit for Review.

Once you do so, learn what to expect after you create a pentest.
