PTES PTES-4.2: Encrypt, control and destroy engagement data and evidence

All data gathered during the engagement is encrypted on the testers' systems, evidence and draft reports are handled with care and never reused as a template for another client, and, once the organisation has accepted the final report, the engagement data is destroyed with a method and proof of destruction provided to the organisation. Third-party services (for example external processing) are not used and data is not shared with third parties without the organisation's prior consent.
