Awarded for completing Scoping a Penetration Test and Rules of Engagement and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to define a precise testing scope, obtain proper written authorization, select safety controls appropriate to the engagement, vet a testing provider, evaluate a deliverable against a defensible standard, and structure retesting to verify remediation.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
