ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your development team is drafting security requirements for a new payment feature that will store and transmit cardholder data. One item calls for quarterly external vulnerability scans performed by an approved third-party service. Which source of compliance is driving this specific requirement?
Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
ISO/IEC 27001 information security management standard
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an industry standard that applies whenever cardholder data is stored, processed, or transmitted. PCI DSS explicitly mandates quarterly external vulnerability scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor, so it is the source of the stated requirement. GDPR focuses on personal data protection, Sarbanes-Oxley addresses financial reporting controls, and ISO/IEC 27001 is a general information security framework-none of these specify quarterly external scans by an ASV.
