Answer:

The statement is: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

A penetration test consists of a series of test attacks against defense mechanisms existing in an environment that is being analyzed. These tests include the analysis of physical and digital devices to human factors using Social Engineering for that purpose.

Thus, these tests must be carried out without prior notice to employees so the evaluators can simulate what is the real defense and reaction the organization has in front of a threat.
