Why authorized scope is non-negotiable for security work

A short note on written authorization, rules of engagement, and responsible vulnerability remediation.

All security testing, scanning, patching, and production changes are performed only with written authorization and an agreed scope.

Unauthorized testing is not a flex — it is a liability. BetterCallDevOps will not scan or probe systems outside a documented engagement.

Remediation programs succeed when CVE ownership, SLAs, and evidence of closure are as clear as the scanner output.
