PCI DSS Penetration Testing will identify flaws in your card payment procedures.
PCI DSS pen testing allows us to identify high risk vulnerabilities and gaps within your security systems, making sure you are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). PCI penetration testing can prevent hackers gaining access to private cardholder data, protecting your customers’ sensitive details and your reputation.

What is PCI DSS pen testing?
Our PCI DSS Penetration Testing Service
Why do I need PCI DSS pen testing?
For any business processing card payments, it’s a smart decision to be fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) requirements.
It demonstrates a commitment to protecting your customers’ cardholder data. Having a penetration test performed with a qualified security assessor sends out a positive message that you are a business that operates responsibly and that your cardholder data environment is safe. The credibility of your business (not to mention your revenue) is at risk if a breach occurs, could cause lasting damage to your reputation.
Any vulnerabilities found in your payment platform or your integrations could result in a PCI DSS violation. Hackers are always looking to intercept payments and steal credit card and cardholder data.
What gets checked?
PCI DSS pen testing can identify the risk level and threats to your platform and the internal network of your business, helping you take action to avoid breaches.
- Identify any security flaws present in the payment gateway
- Gain an understanding of any weaknesses in your system
- Address and remedy all flaws identified
What does PCI DSS pen testing usually find?
Many of our PCI DSS investigations reveal similar issues:
- Not identifying actual scope
- Lack of documentation of significant changes
- Not outlining and properly describing full business processes
- Misunderstanding criteria from the SAQ eligibility questionnaire
- Not keeping up with recurring tasks
- Lack of consistency with vulnerability management programme
- Lack of inclusion of third party data processes
If you can address these issues before requesting a PCI DSS investigation, it’ll make the process a bit easier.
