Managed Vulnerability Assessment Service

Our Vulnerability Assessment Service offers a comprehensive and systematic approach to identify, assess, and prioritize vulnerabilities across your organization’s systems, networks, applications, and infrastructure. Leveraging industry-leading tools, techniques, and methodologies, our seasoned security experts conduct thorough evaluations to uncover weaknesses, misconfigurations, and potential security gaps that threat actors could exploit.

For organizations handling payment card data, compliance with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is essential to protect sensitive information and avoid penalties. Two critical security requirements for PCI DSS compliance are ASV (Approved Scanning Vendor) scanning and annual penetration testing, which together form a key part of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT).

ASV Scanning

PCI DSS mandates that organizations undergo quarterly ASV scanning to detect external vulnerabilities that could expose cardholder data to unauthorized access. ASV scanning, conducted by a PCI-approved scanning vendor, assesses the security of internet-facing systems and helps organizations identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. These scans are crucial for maintaining PCI DSS compliance, as they continuously monitor for evolving threats and ensure that the organization’s external infrastructure is secure.

Annual Penetration Testing

In addition to quarterly ASV scans, PCI DSS requires that organizations conduct annual penetration testing of both external and internal networks to simulate real-world attack scenarios. This thorough testing provides deeper insights into potential vulnerabilities by attempting to exploit them, uncovering areas where attackers could gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or compromise cardholder data. Annual penetration tests are also required whenever significant changes are made to network configurations, ensuring that security measures adapt to infrastructure updates.

Integrated VAPT Solution for PCI DSS Compliance

Combining ASV scanning with annual penetration testing under a VAPT program allows organizations to address both proactive and in-depth security assessments. A comprehensive VAPT approach helps ensure that organizations not only meet PCI DSS requirements but also maintain robust defenses against data breaches by:

Continuously identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in external-facing systems,
Simulating real-world attacks to expose hidden weaknesses,
Ensuring security measures are updated with infrastructure changes, and
Providing documented evidence of compliance for audits.

With a VAPT program tailored to PCI DSS requirements, organizations can secure their environments, protect cardholder data, and confidently maintain compliance, all while strengthening their overall cybersecurity posture.
