If it were possible, even in the most general of terms, I would be very
curious to know what you hope to achieve through a penetration test.
As far as I can see a penetration test gives you one piece of information:
Were the attackers in question capable of breaking in to your network?
What I can't see is how this then turns into anything useful: it might let you
fix the issues they did discover, but nothing more — especially not, "are you
actually secure".
OTOH, you may see some value that I have missed, so I am very curious to know
what that is, if it is possible for you to share the information.
