PCI DSS Scanning Services

What Are The Areas Of PCI Security Standards?

There are six fundamental areas of security requirements that businesses must meet to gain compliance with PCI DSS and therefore avoid fines for non-compliance. These include:

1. Building and maintaining a secure network and making sure that all systems are up to date and capable of dealing with the latest level of threat
2. Installing and maintaining firewalls as well as encryption and anti-virus software
3. Protecting how credit card data is collected, processed, and stored in both digital and physical formats
4. Keeping up a vulnerability management programme by using regular vulnerability PCI scanning, as well as testing all other networks and developing a plan for remediation when weaknesses are found
5. Strong control measures need to be put in place to restrict access to credit card data
6. Putting in place (and maintaining) a comprehensive information security policy across the business

Meeting PCI DSS Requirements

PCI DSS must be certified by an Approved Scanning Vendor, also known as an ASV, provided by an external scanning service. Businesses can speed up the certification process by carrying out internal scans and audits, combined with continuous monitoring of credit card services. At Toraguard, our team of cyber security experts work closely with management and leadership teams to ensure best practice standards are met, and that businesses are fully prepared and engaged for ASV scanning.

Our scanning services assist businesses to determine TLS/SSL vulnerabilities and identify any misconfigurations or incomplete updates. These are areas that could lead to the misuse of data and a failure to be compliant with PCI. Our high scanning frequency means no changes are missed and any remediation required is as effective as possible.
