Related to this, does anyone know of any good sample contracts online for
people involved in audit work? It would be helpful if someone knows of any
resources for developing security services contracts, in general.
Thanks for any suggestions,

Keenen,
I was in a IT security consulting firm that conduct pent-test and etc
for external clients. From my experience...technically, u can be sued.
What
my ex-company did was....include a "clause" in the contract saying that
you
or your company should not be held responsible if the company that you
audited been hacked in the future. The arguement is....hackers always find
new ways/ideas to hack. So, after an audit exercise doesnt mean that the
company that you audited is 100% bullet proof. It is just to "minimized
the
risk". Hope that answer your questions.

Louie Low

Subject: bank audit pen test
I have a different twist on the bank audit question.
If as part of the audit, you perform a pen test and the bank gets hack
the day after you deliver your results, can you be sued? I know anyone
can sue anyone for anything but how can you realistically reduce the
chance you get sued.
Best Regards,
Keenen
