Centralize PCI DSS compliance with PCI ASV

Organizations are required to conduct external vulnerability scanning at least once every three months to ensure organizational compliance with PCI DSS. 

A-LIGN partners with Sectigo HackerGuardian to provide a robust, fully tested, and certified Qualys vulnerability scan tool. Organizations can manage their scans using the HackerGuardian Enterprise portal and produce the required ASV Attestation of Compliance (AOC). These detailed, reliable insights help optimize security posture and maintain compliance in between formal assessments.  

The benefits of PCI ASV compliance:

  • Centralize external vulnerability scans across multiple locations and applications  
  • Receive detailed remediation guidance to minimize risk quickly 
  • Access to a team of PCI experts and support services 
  • Create detailed, submission-ready compliance reports for management, banks, and/or auditors  
  • Avoid penalties, fines, or reputational damage from gaps in compliance
