What is a PCI ASV Scan?
A Payment Card Industry (PCI) Scan checks your network for any data security vulnerabilities that may impact your organization’s ability to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS). All vendors and merchants who must abide by PCI compliance regulations are required to have quarterly vulnerability scans of their external network performed.
The PCI Data Security Standards Council requires that compliant organizations use an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) to conduct scans. SecureState is an Approved Scanning Vendor and is authorized to perform PCI scans on a vendor’s or merchant’s externally facing presence.
Why do this IT security audit?
PCI data security compliance requirement 11.2 dictates that external vulnerability scans must be performed on a vendor’s or merchant’s externally facing network on a quarterly basis. These quarterly scans must be performed by an Approved Scanning Vendor. If an organization falls within the PCI regulation and does not have these scans performed, they are in violation of the PCI Compliance Standards.
