What is an ASV scan?

An ASV scan, short for Approved Scanning Vendor scan, is a mandatory external vulnerability assessment required by PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.2. Learn more about the complete PCI ASV scan requirements, including who must be scanned and what PCI DSS expects. Any merchant or service provider that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data must have all external-facing IP addresses and domains scanned quarterly by a vendor certified by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).

The scan checks for open ports, known CVEs, SSL/TLS misconfigurations, exposed services, and other vulnerabilities that could put cardholder data at risk. Any finding with a CVSS base score of 4.0 or above is a mandatory failure; you must remediate it before your Attestation of Scan Compliance (ASC) report can be issued. That report is what you submit to your acquiring bank or QSA as quarterly PCI evidence.

Read our complete guide to learn what an ASV scan actually checks, how the scanning process works, and what PCI DSS requires.

The Process

How your ASV scan works from setup to ASC report

From adding your IPs to downloading your passing ASC report, the entire ASV scan process is managed inside Secusy’s dashboard.

01
Asset Onboarding

Add your external IP addresses, domains, and internet-facing services. Secusy validates each asset is reachable before scanning begins.

02
Pre-Scan Validation

Connectivity checks confirm every target is live and in scope. Failed assets are flagged before the scan clock starts, not after.

03
ASV Scan Execution

Automated PCI-aligned scanning across all declared assets. Intelligent parallel scanning reduces total scan time without missing coverage.

04
Vulnerability Analysis

Every finding is scored by CVSS, categorised by severity, and mapped to the specific PCI DSS requirement it relates to.

05
Remediation Phase

Plain-English fix instructions for every finding above CVSS 4.0. Your team knows exactly what to patch, configure, or close.

06
Rescan & Validation

Trigger a rescan after remediation. Secusy confirms each fix and updates the report. Repeat until every finding is resolved or disputed.

07
Report Generation

Once your scan passes, your Attestation of Scan Compliance (ASC) report is generated immediately. Submit it directly to your acquiring bank or QSA.

08
Dispute Support

If a finding is a false positive or outside your CDE scope, Secusy guides you through the formal dispute process with templates and evidence support included.

PCI SSC-Certified ASV

Secusy is a PCI SSC-recognised Approved Scanning Vendor. Every ASV scan report and Attestation of Scan Compliance (ASC) document meets the official PCI DSS ASV Program Guide requirements, accepted by all acquiring banks and QSAs without question.

From submitting your target IPs to receiving your full vulnerability report; 24 to 48 hours. No waiting days for a human to review your scan or manually generate your report. If you pass on the first scan, your ASC report is generated immediately.

Every vulnerability flagged in your ASV scan comes with plain-English remediation guidance; not a raw CVE ID and a link to a database. Your developer or IT admin can action findings without needing a security consultant to interpret the report.

Set your scan schedule once. Secusy automatically initiates your quarterly ASV scans, handles pre-scan asset validation, and alerts you when results are ready. You’ll never miss the 90-day compliance window because you forgot to log in and trigger a scan.

Managing compliance for multiple clients? Secusy’s secure multi-tenant console gives each client isolated scan environments, granular RBAC, custom branding, and exportable reports, everything an MSSP or compliance service provider needs to scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

An ASV scan is a mandatory external vulnerability assessment required by PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.2, checking all internet-facing IPs, domains, and hostnames for open ports, known CVEs, and misconfigurations. A passing scan (no findings ≥4.0 CVSS) results in an Attestation of Scan Compliance (ASC) report, your quarterly PCI evidence.

Any merchant or service provider under SAQ B-IP, SAQ C, SAQ C-VT, SAQ D, or a full ROC must run quarterly ASV scans. Businesses on a fully hosted payment page (typically SAQ A) are generally exempt, your acquiring bank or QSA can confirm which applies to you.

Secusy ASV scans start at $80, with fixed, transparent pricing and no per-IP upsells or hidden fees. That's significantly less than enterprise vendors like Qualys or Trustwave, which typically require a sales engagement before pricing is even disclosed.
