ASV SERVICES
What are ASV services?
ASV services are vulnerability scanning services performed by a vendor which has been approved to conduct vulnerability scans in line with PCI DSS requirements.
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), requirement 11.2 mandates organisations to:
Run internal and external network vulnerability scans at least quarterly and after any significant change in the network.
Quarterly external scans must be performed by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV).
Nettitude is a certified Payment Card Industry (PCI) Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV).
