What happens when a penetration test starts without a clear scope? In this episode, we discuss the most common scoping mistakes in cybersecurity engagements, how they impact both clients and consultants, and why a poorly defined scope can turn a simple assessment into a nightmare. From missing assets to unrealistic expectations, we'll explore real-world lessons and best practices for getting scoping right from day one.
