When to Request Manual Validation
Automated checks are useful for fast visibility, but they do not replace manual VAPT. If the tool reports missing controls, exposed records, risky headers, certificate issues, weak configuration, or unclear evidence, PentestHint can validate the finding, assess business impact, and provide remediation guidance in a structured security report.
