Overview
PCI DSS scanning that passes and improves security.
Quarterly ASV scans, internal scans, and segmentation testing with fast re-scans and clear fixes.
Why it matters:
How it works:
Scope & readiness
Define in-scope IPs/ranges, CDE boundaries, owners, maintenance windows, and success criteria.
Pre-scan hygiene
Triage known issues (TLS ciphers, headers, legacy services) to avoid predictable Fail findings.
Baseline scan
Run ASV external scans and internal/segmentation scans. Capture all evidence.
Fix & verify
Provide ticket-ready remediation steps. Align owners and due dates. Support change approvals.
Re-scan until Pass
Clear remaining findings. Produce final ASV attestation and evidence pack you can hand to your QSA/acquirer.
Quarterly cadence
Schedule the next quarter. Track trends, recurring issues, and time-to-remediate.

FAQs
Do you perform the ASV scans yourselves?
External PCI scans are performed via an Approved Scanning Vendor. JUMPSEC manages scoping, remediation, disputes, and re-scans end-to-end.
Can you help with false positive disputes?
Yes. We prepare evidence, submit disputes to the ASV, and manage outcomes.
How do you handle CDNs/WAFs and cloud elasticity?
We align scope to real egress IPs and origin services, account for any geo/IP steering, and coordinate maintenance to avoid noisy results.
Do you support PCI DSS v4.0?
Yes. We align cadence and artefacts to v4.0 expectations, including quarterly scans, post-change scans, and segmentation validation.
Can you help beyond scanning?
Yes. We provide Microsoft 365 security uplift, managed detection and response (MXDR), incident response retainers, and offensive testing.
