Editorial Policy

The iPentesting blog and resource pages exist to help small businesses, IT generalists, and agencies understand public-facing security topics in plain language.

Our goal is practical education — not fear-based marketing. Articles should help readers assess risk, prioritize fixes, and know when to involve a developer, MSP, or certified assessor.

Articles are produced by the iPentesting Security Team and reviewed by a human editor before publication. Automated drafts may be used to accelerate research and outlining, but no post is published without editorial review.

Author attribution appears on each article. We do not publish anonymous security guidance on topics that could affect production systems.

We prioritize authoritative references such as NIST, CISA, IETF RFCs, OWASP, and other recognized standards bodies when explaining technical concepts.

We do not invent statistics, breach narratives, or vendor-specific claims. If guidance depends on a standard or advisory, we link to the primary source where possible.

Security configurations change. Articles include publication dates; readers should verify recommendations against their environment and current vendor documentation.

• Curated source lists for generated drafts
• External link validation before publication
• Sources section on published articles where citations apply
• Clear distinction between educational content and product marketing

Some articles reference iPentesting features when relevant to the topic (for example, monitoring DMARC or exporting PDF reports). These mentions must be accurate and proportionate to the article.

Sponsored or paid placements are not presented as independent editorial content. If that changes in the future, we will disclose the relationship clearly.

If you believe an article contains a factual error, contact us with the article URL and supporting reference. We will review and update or annotate the content when appropriate.
