Cardholder data environments are a top target for attackers – and a top priority for PCI DSS compliance
Our PCI Penetration Testing service helps you spot vulnerabilities across the systems that store, process or transmit cardholder data, before criminals can exploit them.
The test is designed to support PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 and provides clear evidence that your network is being properly secured, segmented and monitored.
Test scope – what we assess
During testing, we’ll evaluate:
- Network segmentation and perimeter defences
- Patch management and system hardening
- Secure data transmission and encryption protocols (SSL/TLS)
- Authentication and access controls
- Password and session management
- Server configuration and exposure
- Cardholder data storage risks
Need something outside this scope? We can tailor the engagement to match your infrastructure and compliance needs.
Your test report includes
During testing, we’ll evaluate:
- Executive summary – Clear, non-technical overview of risks, mapped to CVSS scores
- Testing detail – Methodology, PCI DSS requirement mapping and scope information
- Findings & remediation – Each issue explained with practical next steps

Methodology
We follow industry-recognised standards – including SANS, OSSTMM and OWASP – and blend automated scanning with in-depth manual testing.
That means you’ll uncover issues that tools alone often miss, and get remediation advice tailored to your systems, not just generic scan output.
Our methodology supports compliance with PCI DSS Requirement 11.4.
Who is this service for?
This service is designed for any organisation that stores, processes or transmits payment card data and is subject to the PCI DSS.
Whether you’re a merchant, service provider or third-party processor, we’ll help you scope the right test to meet your PCI 11.4 obligations.
