PTES PTES-5.1: Require an executive summary that ties findings to business risk

The report includes an executive summary for those responsible for oversight and strategy and for those the findings affect: the background and purpose of the test tied to the pre-engagement goals (with any objective change and its letter of amendment referenced), the overall posture and whether the test's goals were met, the overall risk ranking using the method agreed at pre-engagement, general findings with the root causes, a recommendation summary, and a prioritised, business-weighted remediation roadmap that maps to the goals and the threat model. This leaf governs that the organisation receives a business-level account it can act on.

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
