Run internal and external network vulnerability scans at least quarterly and after any significant change in the network (e.g., new system component installations, changes in network topology, firewall rule modifications, product upgrades).


Note that external vulnerability scans must be performed by a scan vendor qualified by the payment card industry.


PCI-11.2 A: Inspect output from the most recent four quarters of network, host, and application vulnerability scans to verify that periodic security testing of the devices within the cardholder environment occurs. Confirm the scan process includes rescans until “clean” results are obtained.


PCI-11.2 B: To verify that external scanning is occurring on a quarterly basis in accordance with the PCI Security Scanning Procedures, inspect output from the four most recent quarters of external vulnerability scans to verify the following:


  • Four quarterly scans occurred in the most recent 12-month period.
  • The results of each scan satisfy the PCI Security Scanning Procedures (e.g., no urgent, critical, or high vulnerabilities.
  • The scans were completed by a vendor approved to perform the PCI Security Scanning Procedures.
