PCI Compliance Portal Process - Three Easy Steps
Step 1 - Fill in the Self Assessment Questionnaire
The PCI Standard requires merchants to complete an annual Self Assessment Questionnaire. The Rapid7 PCI Portal eases this process by providing an electronic version of the SAQ document. While you answer the questions your progress is automatically saved so that you may come back and finish the questionnaire at any time.
Step 2 - Scan Your Internet Facing Systems
Enter your IP addresses that are within the scope of PCI. If you do not know your IP addresses the PCI Portal provides network discovery tools that can guide you through a network discovery scan to find all of your devices. Once your IP addresses are entered into the system, simply launch a PCI scan to audit these devices for thousands of potential vulnerabilities.
Step 3 - Send Reports to Bank
Once you have passed your PCI Vulnerability Scan and completed the Self Assessment Questionnaire, the final step is to submit your Report on Compliance to your acquiring bank. Rapid7 can electronically forward your report to many of the leading acquiring banks.
