A penetration test that involves credit card data must adhere to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to satisfy compliance requirements.
The correct compliance standard for a penetration test involving credit card data is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), not the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA is related to the protection of health information, not credit card data. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
