PCI Vulnerability Scanning
Identify, assess, and address security risks to maintain PCI ASV certification
Service Overview
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires organizations that store, process, or transmit payment card data to maintain strong security safeguards. A key part of these safeguards is the Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) vulnerability scan, which identifies external network weaknesses that could put cardholder data at risk.
PCI vulnerability scanning is not just about checking a box for compliance, it’s about protecting your business and your customers. Regular scans help you spot and remediate threats before attackers can exploit them, ensuring that your PCI certification remains valid and your payment systems stay secure.
All payment processors, merchants, banks, and service providers that handle cardholder data must conduct ASV scans to meet PCI DSS requirements. Failure to comply can result in heavy fines, restrictions, or even loss of the ability to process payments.

Why Choose PCI ASV Scanning?
Any organization that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data is a potential target for cyberattacks. PCI ASV scanning provides assurance that your systems are being regularly tested for vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive customer information.
PCI DSS requires quarterly ASV scans as part of maintaining compliance. Beyond satisfying regulatory obligations, these scans demonstrate to banks, card brands, and customers that you take payment security seriously. They show that your business is proactive in safeguarding cardholder data against evolving threats.
ASV scanning is not a one-time checkbox, it’s a continuous layer of protection. Each scan identifies risks like coding flaws, system misconfigurations, and emerging attack vectors, while providing clear remediation steps. Over time, this creates a stronger, more resilient security posture that reduces your exposure to costly breaches and compliance penalties.
Despite the effort required to conduct and remediate regular scans, the benefits far outweigh the challenges. Choosing PCI ASV scanning means choosing trust, compliance, and long-term security for your business and your customers.
