Ethical Consideration

Description

Privacy

Testers should respect the privacy of the organization and its users. Any sensitive data encountered during testing must be handled confidentially and securely.

Data Integrity

Ensuring data integrity is crucial. Testers should avoid any actions that could potentially damage the system or lead to data loss. Any changes made to the system should be reversible.

Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

Testers often sign NDAs to protect the confidentiality of the information they access during testing. This agreement ensures that sensitive information about the system’s vulnerabilities is not disclosed to unauthorized parties.
