PCI-DSS Penetration Testing – Ensuring Payment Card Security

PCI-DSS Penetration Testing – Ensuring Payment Card Security

The strong Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) requires organizations handling cardholder data to perform regular penetration testing to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities. PCI-DSS Penetration Testing helps businesses strengthen their security posture, protect customer payment information, and ensure compliance with PCI-DSS requirements.

At Young Decade , we offer PCI-DSS-compliant penetration testing to safeguard your payment processing systems, reduce the risk of data breaches, and maintain trust with your customers.

Why is PCI-DSS Penetration Testing Important?

Prevents Data Breaches

Identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.

Protects Cardholder Data

Strengthens security controls around credit and debit card transactions.

Reduces Financial & Legal Risks

Avoids fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage caused by non-compliance.

Improves Security Posture

Enhances overall cybersecurity resilience.

Our PCI-DSS Penetration Testing Approach

we follow a structured, PCI-DSS-compliant testing methodology to ensure a thorough security assessment of your payment infrastructure.

Scoping & Risk Assessment
  • Define the scope based on cardholder data environments (CDE).
  • Identify critical assets, systems, and applications that process, store, or transmit payment data.
  • Evaluate security risks based on PCI-DSS guidelines.
Vulnerability Assessment & Exploitation
  • Perform network and application-layer scanning to detect vulnerabilities.
  • Exploit weaknesses in payment applications, databases, firewalls, and POS systems.
  • Test for insecure authentication, encryption flaws, and misconfigurations.
Web & Mobile Application Testing
  • Perform OWASP Top 10 vulnerability assessments on payment applications.
  • Test for SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, session hijacking, and API vulnerabilities.
  • Assess security of mobile payment applications.
Network Security Testing
  • Conduct internal and external network penetration testing.
  • Test firewall configurations, IDS/IPS, and VPN security.
  • Validate proper network segmentation between CDE and non-CDE environments.
Wireless & Social Engineering Testing
  • Assess security of Wi-Fi networks used for card transactions.
  • Conduct phishing, pretexting, and USB drop attacks to test employee awareness.
Reporting & Compliance Documentation
  • Provide a detailed penetration testing report with findings and risk ratings.
  • Offer remediation recommendations to fix vulnerabilities.
  • Ensure testing meets PCI-DSS audit and compliance requirements.
