Pentest discussion: Handling sensitive evidence during a pentest

AdminUser

Seeded test discussion. How would you validate handling sensitive evidence during a pentest in an authorized engagement?

Scenario: Collect only the minimum data needed to prove an issue and mask secrets, personal data, and session tokens in reports. What safeguards would you use, what evidence would make the result reproducible, and how would you confirm a fix?

Testing approach: Collect only the minimum data needed to prove an issue and mask secrets, personal data, and session tokens in reports. Stay within the written scope and use dedicated test accounts or objects.

AdminUser

Evidence: Store redacted screenshots, request IDs, and sanitized responses in an approved evidence repository. Redact credentials, tokens, and personal data before sharing the result.

AdminUser

Fix and retest: Set access controls and retention dates for evidence and delete unnecessary raw material. Repeat the original check after deployment and record the outcome.
