Hi Michael,

I typically refer to the following document from the SANS Policy resources:

http://www.sans.org/resources/policies/Audit_Policy.doc

I modify this for internal permission slip purposes (i.e. the network security group has permission to do X, Y, Z on the network) and for external engagements as well.

I'd be very interested in hearing people's thoughts/comments.

Thank You,

Paul

I'd be very much interested in whether there is a consensus document used by those performing vulnerability assessments that specifically authorizes pen testing which is sufficiently robust to protect the consultant from civil and criminal action.

Would anyone care to share, comment, etc.?  Thanks in advance.
