Repeating a Pen-Test

1. To repeat a pentest, from the main portal page, within the Quick Actions section, click the Repeat Test button:

2. You now need to choose the test you would like to repeat:

3. Once you have selected the test, you will be placed within the Schedule a Test wizard at step 3, which is where you can name the repeated test, along with any objectives or notes for the team:

Note: If the test you wish to rebook has different targets for the scope of the new test, click the back button to start from step 2.

4. You will now be presented with the automated estimate of hours it will take to complete the test:

5. If you are happy with the estimated hours, click the Yes, lets go button. If you think that the estimated hours require a manual estimate, click the No, request a manual estimate button. This will notify one of the OnSecurity team to manually calculate the estimated hours needed for the test.

6. The next step is to schedule the date for the test. You will see that when you enter the date you wish to start the test, the end date is automatically applied to account for busy periods, weekends and bank holidays. It is recommended that the end date is not adjusted manually, as this may limit the testing time or prevent the testing team from completing all of the testing hours of the test:

7. Once the testing dates are to your satisfaction, click the schedule button.

8. You will now be asked to authorise the testing of the targets within the time frame given, once you approve of the testing, click the schedule button:

9. You have now repeated the pen-test!
