You know, I heard about this guy who thought he could just waltz in and hack a company without permission. Let's just say, he's now serving a nice long prison sentence. Stick with C, folks.

D? Really? Mandatory security policies have nothing to do with the legality of the pen test. Come on, guys, C is the obvious choice here.

Hah, B? That's a good way to get yourself in legal hot water. No way I'm doing a pen test without the company's full knowledge and consent. C is the way to go.

I agree with C. The agreement documents the consent and scope, making the test legal. Conducting a pen test without the organization's knowledge is just asking for trouble.

But wouldn't it also be important to make sure the target organization has proper security policies in place to protect their data during the test?

A legal agreement is crucial to ensure the penetration test is authorized and conducted ethically. It's not about the consultant's fees, but rather protecting both parties involved.
