PCI DSS 11.3

PCI DSS 11.3 vulnerability assessment & ASV-readiness

Secure Assess ships defensive external and credentialed vulnerability assessment mapped to PCI DSS 11.3, plus ASV-readiness as PASS or FAIL only. It is not a full PCI DSS 4.0 compliance program, not an official ASV, and not PCI 11.4 penetration testing.

Defensive external vulnerability assessment

We scan the internet-facing hosts and services you authorize. You get a finding list: what is reachable, what versions we saw, and what that implies for PCI DSS 11.3. We do not attempt to break in.

Credentialed vulnerability assessment

With credentials you supply, we assess the same authorized scope from the authenticated side — missing patches, local configuration, accounts. Still a scan. Still advice. Credentials are used to read, not to change.

PCI DSS 11.3 mapping

Each finding is mapped to PCI DSS 11.3 (vulnerability assessment). That is the requirement Secure Assess covers. PCI 11.4 penetration testing is a different engagement and is not this product.

Scheduled scans

You set the cadence. The same authorized scope runs again so quarter-to-quarter reports stay comparable — not a one-off snapshot you cannot replay.

AI-triaged findings

Findings are ranked and explained so an owner can see what matters first. The model does not apply a fix, open a change window, or touch the scanned system.

PDF report with 11.3 mapping

A written report: scope, scan findings, PCI 11.3 mapping, advice, and the ASV-readiness PASS or FAIL. You keep the file. We do not file it with a card brand on your behalf.

ASV-readiness PASS / FAIL

A readiness check against the shape of an ASV scan. PASS or FAIL only. It is not an official ASV attestation, not PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor output, and must not be presented as a filing.

Report and advise. Never attack.

No exploitation, no payloads, no offensive exercise. We report and advise; we do not patch or change your environment. Applying the advice is yours.

What “evidence” means here

On Secure Assess, deliverables are scan findings + PDF report + PCI 11.3 mapping (and the ASV-readiness PASS or FAIL). That is the report you keep for internal review — not an audit package, not an auditor determination, and not a card-brand filing.

Scope lock — what this page is not selling

  • Not a full PCI DSS 4.0 compliance program or “meets all 4.0 requirements” claim.
  • Not official ASV attestation or PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor output.
  • Not PCI 11.4 penetration testing, exploitation, or red teaming.
  • Not cardholder-data (CHD) discovery or a complete cardholder-data inventory.
