PCI ASV Scanning Services

An Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) is an organization that is authorized by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to conduct external vulnerability scans of merchant or service provider networks in order to ensure their compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

ASV scans are conducted to identify any vulnerabilities or weaknesses in a merchant or service provider's network that could be exploited by hackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive cardholder data. These scans are typically performed using automated tools that scan the network for known vulnerabilities and security weaknesses.

The ASV will provide a report that outlines any vulnerabilities discovered during the scan and provide recommendations on how to remediate them. This report is then submitted to the PCI SSC as part of the merchant or service provider's overall compliance assessment.
