Creating An Engagement
URL: https://pentest.ws/e/create
An Engagement is the foundation of every assessment in PenTest.WS. It acts as the container for all the work you’ll perform — including hosts, ports, findings, notes, and reporting. By creating an engagement, you establish the structure that ties every part of the testing lifecycle together.
From the Dashboard, click Create Engagement to begin:
Why Start with an Engagement?
Organized Workflow – Each engagement keeps your scope, assets, and findings grouped and separate from other projects.
Hosts and Ports – All hosts discovered or imported during testing are tied back to an engagement. Their associated ports, services, and evidence remain organized within this container, making it easy to pivot between technical details and higher-level reporting.
Tips for Creating an Engagement
Choose a clear, descriptive name so the engagement is easy to identify in your dashboard.
Always link the correct client, as this connection is used throughout reporting and collaboration.
Use the summary field to capture the objective or scope (e.g., “External black-box assessment of public web applications”).
Once created, you’ll be taken into the engagement workspace where you can begin adding hosts, importing scan data, and tracking findings.
