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.The network has no vulnerabilities, because passing four consecutive quarterly ASV scans removes the annual penetration testing obligation
- C.The network is immune to attacks, because v4.0 limits Requirement 1 to filtering at the internet perimeter and exempts all traffic that stays between internal network segments
- D.Complete PCI DSS compliance
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.
