Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 137 discussion

D is correct

This one is annoying because the answer is seriously subjective from an exam point of view. For the exam, a SOW covers all this and it gives no mention what the hang up actually was, so we cannot assume. In the real world, we know logically the most prevalent reason why is the user/passwords...so we'd have to verify that and use an emergency contact if not working day of job. That's how it goes in the real world, but hey...it's a CompTia exam, whaddya want. In the PT1 version of this exam, the answer is listed as "expected timeframe". I can't facepalm hard enough. Wish I knew what the actual answer is, based on Comptias reasoning. (Is it actually SOW no matter what because they expect all the other answers to be defined during this phase?)

The problem is tester do not have access. just simple give'm access.. I'm Vote for B

You would need an emergency contact in order to get right user name and passwords. I would assume that if you can't access until Monday, then you were unable to call the emergency contact to get the creds you needed, so what you lacked was an emergency contact number.

D is the answer. This would allow the pen testers to contact them informing them the work wouldn't be done by Monday and receive guidance or further instructions from there.

It's B don't be fooled.

In the scenario described, the assessment team was not able to access the environment as expected. This indicates a failure in preparation and coordination, and one essential aspect that would need to be clarified before the start of the assessment would be the access credentials. So, the correct answer is: B. The correct user accounts and associated passwords Having these details in place would have ensured that the team could access the environment and conduct the assessment as planned. It would typically be part of the overall coordination, communication, and planning process that takes place before the actual testing begins.

A is obviously necessary before the start... it's just wether or not they care for this specific question

The security company should have acquired A. A signed statement of work BEFORE the start of the assessment. This should include all details regarding the scope of the test, any limitations, and information on how to contact the client in case of emergency or delay. Additionally, the expected time frame of the assessment should also be included.

The security company should have acquired the correct user accounts and associated passwords before the start of the assessment, to ensure that the assessment team would be able to access the environment as expected. This would have allowed the team to perform the assessment over the weekend, as requested by the client. Knowing the proper emergency contacts for the client (D) would be important for incident response and escalation procedures, but would not have directly addressed the issue of not being able to access the environment.

D is Correct. See here for more context. https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/comptia/view/61878-exam-pt1-002-topic-1-question-5-discussion/

D , is what I am thinking. Here is more discussions: https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/comptia/view/61878-exam-pt1-002-topic-1-question-5-discussion/

Had "B" been done, then "D" would not have been required. Answer is B

The testers could have gotten in touch with the emergency contact to resolve the issue.

I have another test bank that says the answer is B; correct user accounts and passwords. The question is rather vague.

Surely a signed SOW?
