What does a passing ASV scan report indicate?
- A.No vulnerabilities with CVSS 4.0 or higher were detected externally, meeting PCI DSS external scan requirements
- B.No vulnerabilities with CVSS 7.0 or higher were detected internally, meeting the PCI DSS internal scan requirements
- C.No open ports were detected on any firewall, meeting the PCI DSS network segmentation requirements for Level 1 merchants
- D.No critical vulnerabilities were found by the QSA during on-site fieldwork, meeting PCI DSS penetration test requirements
Why A is correct
A passing ASV scan indicates no externally detectable vulnerabilities scored 4.0 or higher on CVSS, satisfying the external scanning requirement of PCI DSS.
