Penetration testing management refers to the processes, tools, and workflows used to coordinate and deliver pentest engagements from start to finish. It involves everything from scoping and planning to execution, reporting, and remediation tracking. Effective management ensures consistency, transparency, and collaboration across teams, while reducing manual effort and errors.
Whether you're running internal security assessments or delivering client-facing reports, strong pentest management is key to operational efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction.
Relying on spreadsheets, email threads, and generic project trackers like Jira or Trello might work for small teams—but as complexity scales, the cracks show:
