when performing audits in multi-customer environments, care should be taken to ensure that risks to another customer’s environment (e.g. impact on service levels, availability of data, confidentiality aspects) are avoided or mitigated;
V7 does not allow any form of direct security testing initiated by Customer or on behalf of Customer, including but not limited to, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, application code scanning, dynamic testing, installation of audit software, direct access to systems, or ethical hacking of V7 systems, applications, databases, or networks, except as may otherwise be agreed by V7’s Chief Information Security Officer and/or designee in writing and signed by both Parties; and
