Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 96 discussion

The correct answer is B. Remediate the findings. Once the board has accepted the penetration test report, the next step should be to take action to address the findings that have been identified. Remediation of the findings is the most essential step to ensure the security of the system and should be the priority before any additional testing is done. Option A: Perform a new penetration test is incorrect because it is unnecessary at this point. The board has already accepted the existing report and the findings should be addressed first. Option C: Provide the list of common vulnerabilities and exposures is incorrect because this is not the next step after the board has accepted the report. The list of common vulnerabilities and exposures should have been identified as part of the initial test and included in the report. Option D: Broaden the scope of the penetration test is incorrect because it is unnecessary at this point. The board has already accepted the existing report and the findings should be addressed first.

After a penetration test report has been submitted, reviewed, and accepted, the next logical step is to prioritize and address the identified vulnerabilities and findings. Since three findings have been rated as high, it's important to focus on remediating these issues to improve the security posture of the organization.
