Secret Scanning
— PCI-DSS Technical Validation
Secret Scanning engineered for the PCI-DSS Technical Validation threat landscape. Every finding is backed by proof-of-concept evidence.
Free Scoping CallPCI-DSS Technical Validation Control and Evidence Readiness
Technical validation of PCI DSS v4.0 requirements for systems that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.
The PCI-DSS Technical Validation control areas most relevant to Secret Scanning:
Regular Vulnerability Scanning and Penetration Testing (Req. 11)
Meeting the quarterly ASV scan and annual penetration test requirement with real exploit evidence, not scanner output alone.
Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) Segmentation
Verifying the CDE is genuinely isolated from the rest of the network through active segmentation testing.
Firewall and Network Configuration (Req. 1)
Auditing firewall rule sets, unnecessary open ports, and default configurations.
Encryption and Key Management (Req. 3-4)
Validating cardholder data encryption at rest and in transit, key rotation, and retention limits.
Access Logging and Traceability (Req. 10)
Ensuring every API call and administrative action touching cardholder data is captured in tamper-evident logs.
Expected Evidence Examples
- Segmentation test report
- ASV scan results and closure evidence
- Access-log integrity validation

Frequently Asked Questions
What methodologies do you use?
We base our testing on OWASP Testing Guide, PTES, NIST SP 800-115, and OSSTMM frameworks.
Can we review previous work examples?
Due to NDA constraints we cannot share client names, but we can provide redacted sector-specific case studies and proof summaries.
Do you test remotely or on-site?
Most tests are conducted remotely via VPN. For internal network and physical security tests, we deploy on-site teams.
