When managing vulnerability scans for an organization that processes, stores, or transmits payment card information, adherence to what standard dictates the regularity and scope of the scans by an external party?
Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires organizations involved with payment card transactions to conduct regular vulnerability scans using an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). These scans are to be performed quarterly and after any significant change to the network. The standard ensures regular assessments to protect cardholder data by identifying and addressing known security vulnerabilities. Compliance with these requirements is essential for organizations to safely handle payment card information.
