• VT TRIPS - two REST endpoints (provided at project launch)
• VT Haul Pass – one REST endpoint (provided at project launch)

• VT Haul Pass - authenticated users, un-authenticated users (sites to be provided at project launch)
• Comprehensive report of risk-ranked vulnerabilities/findings and associated exploits.

• Penetration testing must be conducted from the continental US. All data obtained in the course of this engagement must always remain on continental US. If this is not possible, please explain.
• The contractor will produce an initial report of any findings within 5 business days following the completion of the initial testing.
• Contractor is authorized to perform this test during the testing period between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm EST. (blackout update dates/give as much time necessary/but not touch update windows.)
