What information do you need to scope a penetration test?

Accurate scoping is one of the most important stages of a penetration testing engagement. It determines what will be assessed, how much testing effort is required, and whether the final results will provide meaningful assurance against the risks an organisation is trying to understand. A scope that is too narrow may exclude important systems, user roles, or integrations.
