Identifying whether the assets are first-party or third-party hosted is critical because each may be bound by different legal agreements, such as NDAs, SLAs, and regulatory compliance requirements. Additionally, permission to test third-party hosted systems usually requires additional coordination and explicit consent from the third party. Testing without proper authorization could lead to legal actions against the tester or the hiring organization.
