How will we work with you?
Stage 1
Scope
definition
We will begin by defining the scope of your scanning, identifying all the IP addresses or domain names within the scanning scope. The accuracy of this step is crucial for ensuring a smooth scanning process.
Stage 2
Scheduling
agreement
At this stage, we will agree on a scanning schedule, assign contact persons, and establish procedures for handling both positive and negative scanning results. This will ensure the process runs smoothly.
Stage 3
Scanning
In the agreed cycles, we will carry out the scanning, prepare reports, and outline the next steps. If the scanning results show no vulnerabilities, you will receive a certified PCI ASV report. If any issues are found, we will indicate where the problems lie and work with you to develop a corrective action plan.
