If you are looking for a good way to score the results, I recommend
(with bias) the NSA IEM. It is flexible for any organization and can be
used no matter the scope.  It is also a great mechanism for scoring
findings from all three areas, Management, Operational, and Technical.

A points system is what I use... 0 (worst) - 10
(best).  Then a overall percentage is given which
helps people put the score into perspective easily. 
However, this can also be misleading... let's say test
by test you get 10 except for a couple tests for
router, firewall, and IDS for which you get very bad
scores.  Looking at the overall score gives a false
sense of security to the casual reporter reader.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Is there a security criteria or matrix against which
we could grade
customer's pen test results? Like assigning them
grade between A to E
or 1 to 10.
