009 — SECURITY

THE PENTEST REPORT NOBODY READ

The pentest found eleven findings. Four were critical. The report went into a shared drive and the criticals got fixed nine months later, after the retest nobody scheduled.

A pentest you don't act on is a very expensive PDF. The value was never the findings list. It was the two-hour readout where someone said "show me exactly how you'd get in" and the room went quiet.
