Overview

Are vulnerabilities in your network compromising your PCI compliance?

Thousands of vulnerabilities can be present in an organisation’s network for months before they are identified. Payment card environments are of particular interest to criminal hackers and organisations (but for very different reasons), and should be safeguarded by supporting compliance to the PCI DSS.

IT Governance’s PCI Penetration Test aims to assess your security systems, public-facing devices and systems, databases, and other systems that store, process or transmit cardholder data in order to discover your vulnerabilities before cyber criminals do.

Our service will help you determine whether and how a malicious user could gain unauthorised access to assets that affect the fundamental security of your system, files, logs and/or cardholder data, and confirm that the controls required by the PCI DSS are in place and effective.

We will assess key areas of your network, such as:

If the environment is securely segmented;
Whether your environment has been appropriately patched and configured, and suitably hardened;
Whether there are weak protocols being used to transmit cardholder data;
How secure your authentication process is;
How secure your password authentication services are and what measures have been put in place to confirm a user’s identity;
Weaknesses in SSL/TLS configurations;
The robustness of your server configurations; and
Whether user access privileges and effective session management configurations are in place.
