External and internal vulnerability scanning to support your PCI DSS scanning obligations — with remediation guidance and rescans to reach a clean, compliant result.
PCI DSS requires regular internal and external vulnerability scanning, and passing those scans is a recurring obligation rather than a one-off. Failed scans stall compliance and create audit findings.
We run the scans, interpret the results, and help you remediate and rescan until you reach a passing position — then keep you on a quarterly cadence so compliance stays continuous rather than a last-minute scramble.
The core areas we examine in a pci dss scan requirements engagement.
Internet-facing scanning of in-scope systems against PCI requirements.
Scanning inside the cardholder data environment for internal exposures.
A managed schedule that keeps you continuously aligned to PCI timelines.
Help interpreting results, fixing issues and rescanning to a clean pass.
Documentation of passing scans to evidence your PCI obligations.
Where this engagement tends to add the most value.
External vulnerability scanning by an Approved Scanning Vendor is a named, recurring PCI DSS requirement, and passing scans are evidence you must retain and submit to your acquirer.
A repeatable, standards-based process that balances depth with operational safety.
Confirming the external-facing assets in the cardholder data environment.
Configuring the approved-scanning-vendor scan to PCI requirements.
Running the scan and identifying vulnerabilities against PCI thresholds.
Reviewing and validating results, with dispute handling where needed.
Supporting remediation and rescanning until a passing result is reached.
Issuing the passing scan report for your PCI DSS evidence.
