PCI-DSS Driven Penetration Testing
Required penetration testing for PCI compliance
What this engagement covers
The service
PCI-DSS Requirement 11.3 mandates annual penetration testing by a qualified assessor. Our PCI-DSS penetration testing meets all Payment Card Industry requirements and provides documentation needed for QSA validation and compliance reporting.
What we test
We test all systems in your cardholder data environment (CDE) including external networks, internal network segmentation, web applications that handle card data, wireless networks, and all systems connected to the CDE. Testing validates PCI security requirements are properly implemented.
How we run it
Conducted by PCI-certified professionals, our testing follows PCI Penetration Testing Guidance and includes all required components. We validate network segmentation, test for CDE vulnerabilities, assess application layer security, and provide detailed remediation guidance to achieve compliance.
Cardholder data environment identification
External penetration testing
Internal penetration testing
Network segmentation validation
Application layer security testing
Wireless security assessment (if applicable)
Social engineering testing
Remediation and retesting
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- PCI-DSS compliant penetration test report
- ASV scan results and attestation
- Network segmentation validation
- Cardholder data flow analysis
- Vulnerability remediation tracking
- Retest validation report
- QSA-ready documentation package
- Attestation of Compliance (AOC) support
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Findings are mapped to PCI-DSS v4.0, PA-DSS, PCI P2PE, Payment Card Standards, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
