Tenable PCI ASV

Tenable PCI ASV is an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) compliance solution engineered to help merchants, service providers, and payment processors streamline, execute, and validate mandatory quarterly external vulnerability scans required by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) Requirement 11.3.2. Officially certified by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), Tenable PCI ASV couples high-accuracy vulnerability scanning with an intuitive dispute resolution and attestation workflow, allowing organizations to achieve verified PCI compliance reports quickly.

The solution allows organizations to configure and execute external scans against all internet-facing systems that touch or could impact the security of the cardholder data environment (CDE). Key technical capabilities include automated identification of PCI-failing vulnerabilities (CVSS scores of 4.0 or higher, automatic failures for specific CVEs), built-in workflow for submitting dispute documentation and compensating controls to Tenable certified ASV team, automated scan rerun validation, and one-click generation of official, signed PCI-DSS Attestation of Scan Compliance reports. By streamlining dispute reviews and remediation verification, Tenable PCI ASV reduces compliance friction and eliminates external audit delays.

Tenable PCI ASV integrates natively with Tenable Vulnerability Management (formerly Tenable.io), Tenable Security Center, and enterprise payment architectures. Core enterprise use cases include executing quarterly PCI external scans, documenting compensating controls for false positives and legacy architectures, certifying payment gateway perimeters, and providing acquiring banks with signed PCI ASV compliance certificates. Tenable PCI ASV delivers certified scanning accuracy, streamlined dispute workflows, and guaranteed regulatory audit compliance.
