The ultimate test of server security is a penetration test (or pentest). No other procedure better simulates the real world scenario of being targeted by hackers, and no other preventative measure protects you more effectively against real-world threats. ServerScan will provide a professional and thorough penetration test for your organization complete with a report that you can use to demonstrate your compliance with Requirement 11.4 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
Automated Testing With Real Depth
ServerScan's penetration testing runs on automated attack-simulation technology, not a person manually working through your systems. It goes further than a standard vulnerability scan: instead of just flagging a possible weakness, it actually attempts to exploit it, the same way an attacker would. Our security team builds and maintains the testing methodology behind it, so you get that extra depth without a multi-week wait.
Pricing Guidelines
Because every environment is different, the price of penetration testing can vary widely based on scope and complexity. We offer free scoping calls to help you determine the appropriate penetration testing for your environment. Regardless of scope, ServerScan always provides competitive pricing and the best overall value.
Scheduling Guidelines
ServerScan offers some of the shortest lead times in the industry. Once scheduled, most tests complete within a few days, not weeks, since the testing itself is automated.
Isn’t my quarterly ASV scan enough?
No. ASV scans are not the same as penetration tests. One does not replace the need for the other and both are required for PCI DSS compliance.
PCI DSS 4
Requirement 11.4.7, which applies to Multi-tenant Service Providers, has been in force since March 2025. (See also Requirements 11.4.1-11.4.3 for the core penetration testing requirements.)
Low-Impact Testing
You control when the test runs. We'll work with you to schedule it for a time and cadence that fits your business, so it doesn't disrupt normal operations.
