What is a PCI-DSS Pentest?

PCI-DSS Pentest is a rigorous cyber examination for applications that fall under PCI compliance, predominantly in the financial sector. These systems, pivotal for commerce, are often in the crosshairs of cyber adversaries.

For finance-driven organizations, a PCI-DSS Pentest isn't just recommended—it's essential. Ensuring alignment with PCI standards not only avoids potential penalties but also demonstrates an unwavering commitment to data protection and client trust.

The benefits of a PCI-DSS Pentest

Rigorous pentesting of financial systems ensures they meet global security standards, solidifying customer and partner confidence in your processes.

Unearthing vulnerabilities before they're exploited reduces financial and reputational risks, promoting secure financial transactions.

Pentests ensure that applications stay compliant with PCI standards, safeguarding against potential penalties and legal entanglements.

Proactively addressing and mitigating vulnerabilities fosters a stable financial operation environment, ensuring smooth transactions and user interactions.

PCI-DSS Pentest Approach

Ensuring cardholder data security is paramount in today's transaction-heavy landscape. Our PCI-DSS Pentest Approach meticulously examines vulnerabilities and compliance, fortifying your card data environment. Dive into these integral steps for comprehensive protection.

Scope Definition

Determine the specific systems, networks, and applications that store, process, or transmit cardholder data to be included in the pentest.

Threat Modeling

Identify potential threat agents, attack vectors, and vulnerabilities by evaluating the data flow, understanding processes, and considering past incidents.

Segmentation Testing

Verify that the CDE is properly segregated from other systems. This ensures that systems outside the CDE cannot access or impact the cardholder data.

Vulnerability Assessment

Use automated tools and manual techniques to pinpoint potential weaknesses in the CDE without actually exploiting them.

Exploitation

Actively try to exploit identified vulnerabilities to understand their real-world impact and determine potential data exposure.

Reporting & Remediation Guidance

Document findings, rank vulnerabilities based on severity, and provide specific recommendations for addressing and mitigating the risks.

$3.86MAverage Breach Costs

The average cost of a single data breach in 2020 was $3.86 million, according to the "Cost of a Data Breach Report" by the Ponemon Institute. The financial sector, given its sensitivity, often sees even higher costs.

27.9%PCI-DSS Compliance

According to Verizon's 2020 Payment Security Report, only 27.9% of organizations maintained full PCI-DSS compliance in 2019, suggesting a gap in continuous compliance.

+125%Financial Sector Attacks

The financial services sector was the most targeted industry by cyber attackers in 2020, with a 125% increase in attacks compared to the previous year, as noted in various cybersecurity reports.

PCI-DSS Pentest FAQ's

decorative image about frequently asked questions

What is a PCI-DSS Pentest?

A PCI-DSS Pentest, or Penetration Test, is a rigorous cybersecurity assessment designed to identify vulnerabilities within systems and networks that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. It's specifically crafted to meet the standards set by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) to ensure robust payment card security.

How does a PCI-DSS Pentest differ from an Audit?

While both pentesting and audits aim to identify security flaws and ensure compliance, a PCI-DSS Pentest actively tries to exploit vulnerabilities in the environment, simulating a real-world attack scenario. In contrast, an audit is a more passive examination of an organization's controls and processes against PCI-DSS requirements.

How often should I conduct a PCI-DSS Pentest?

It's recommended to perform a PCI-DSS Pentest annually or after any significant change to your IT infrastructure. This ensures consistent compliance and adapts to evolving cyber threats.

What will I receive at the end of the PCI-DSS Pentest?

Upon completion, you'll receive a detailed pentest report outlining vulnerabilities discovered, potential impacts, and recommended remediation steps. Additionally, a management report will be provided for a broader overview and strategic guidance.
