Penetration Test Scheduling

Penetration Test Scheduling

Automate penetration test scheduling approvals to improve security testing efficiency.

Why automate?

Penetration testing (pen testing) is a critical security practice where IT teams simulate cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. However, running pen tests without proper approvals can disrupt systems, impact business operations, or create security risks. Manual approval workflows for pen testing slow down security teams, delay testing cycles, and increase the risk of missed vulnerabilities. IT security leaders must ensure that pen tests are scheduled, reviewed, and approved efficiently to align with security policies. Cflow helps to automate Penetration Test Scheduling Approvals, ensuring that tests are approved by the right stakeholders, executed in a controlled manner, and properly documented.

How Cflow Helps:

Structured Pen Test Request Approvals

Cflow routes penetration test requests to designated security teams for approval, ensuring tests are authorized before execution.

Risk-Based Test Scheduling

High-risk tests require additional approval layers, while routine security scans can be automatically approved based on predefined rules.

Conflict-Free Scheduling

Cflow ensures that penetration tests do not interfere with production systems or critical business operations by coordinating schedules with IT teams.

Test Execution Documentation

Every approved penetration test is logged, time-stamped, and stored for audit purposes, ensuring security teams can track historical test data.
