Streamline PCI Compliance Efforts
Good on their own, but better together, vulnerability management and pen testing can greatly streamline your efforts to achieve PCI Compliance. Vulnerability management scans, identifies, prioritizes, and reports on security weaknesses while pen testing validates the exploitability an organization’s infrastructure weaknesses, showing exactly how a cyber attacker could use vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive data.
Penetration Testing for PCI Compliance
Pen testing services and software are a great way to evaluate the security of networks, applications, endpoints, and users. Depending on your company’s security team, services are a good way to give them an additional hand and software is a great way to give them the security tools they need.

PCI Compliance: Past, Present, and Future
PCI compliance was initially designed to focus on payment card accounts, but it’s grown into a larger payment card data threat protection entity. Fast forward to today, payment card transactions, the data exchanged, and the payment information housed is covered by PCI Compliance regulations. It’s no longer singularly focused on the payment card, but the entire process, including data retention and transmission.
Organizations that must adhere to PCI compliance need to stay up to date with the requirement changes in PCI 4.0, including:
- Ensure they meet requirements for secure digital payments
- Foster security as a continuous dynamic process – not a one and done.
- Make validation procedures more robust
- Support any additional methodologies that achieve the target security goals
These new 4.0 requirements take into consideration that not all security approaches are the same, even if they are working toward the same goal. It allows for more customized methods when necessary to achieve PCI DSS requirements, empowering teams to choose the tools they want to work with to achieve the goals. For many security teams this means they can opt for powerful yet user-friendly solutions that streamline the PCI compliance process.
