1. Which business outcomes must the test protect?
Name the critical user journeys, sensitive records, privileged actions and operational dependencies. Asset counts alone do not explain what success or failure means.
2. Are trust boundaries and connected services included?
Identity providers, APIs, administrative interfaces and third-party integrations often create the most important paths. Confirm whether they are testable, excluded or simulated.
3. How much human-led testing is planned?
Scanning supports coverage, but authentication flaws, business-logic abuse and chained weaknesses need informed manual exploration and validation.
4. What evidence will engineers receive?
A useful finding should be reproducible and include affected components, conditions, impact, safe proof and a remediation direction—not only a scanner description.
5. Is retesting included and clearly bounded?
Agree the retest window, number of cycles and closure evidence in advance. This avoids turning remediation verification into an unexpected second purchase.
