And that begs the question, what\u2019s the best ASV scanning vendor to work with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easy. It\u2019s Sectigo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look, we could try to maintain an air of objectivity about\nall of this, but we\u2019ve tested the various scanners and the only one we even\nthought was worth selling is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/sectigo\/hackerguardian\">Sectigo\nHackerGuardian PCI Scanner<\/a>. Let\u2019s cover why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sectigo Is an Industry Leader<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sectigo, formerly Comodo CA, has an outstanding reputation\nin the cyber security space. Originally, Comodo CA was built around an\nantivirus suite that has become one of the world\u2019s finest. It\u2019s that\nexperience, and the fact Sectigo has grown into the world\u2019s largest certificate\nauthority, that has positioned it to offer such a robust and affordable ASV\nscanning solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you work with Sectigo, you\u2019ve got two decades worth of\nexperience behind you. You\u2019ve got a cyber security behemoth with massive\nresources in your corner. Other approved vendors just don\u2019t boast those\ncredentials. Sectigo didn\u2019t earn its place by accident; it did so by being the\nbest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sectigo Has the Best ASV Scanner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sectigo HackerGuardian PCI Scanner is built on the back of\nSectigo\/Comodo\u2019s world famous antivirus suite. Each day, new threats get found\nand new tests get added to keep Sectigo HackerGuardian PCI Scanner always up to\ndate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it doesn\u2019t stop there. Where other scanners just turn up\nvulnerabilities and point you in their direction, Sectigo HackerGuardian PCI\nScanner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/resources\/what-is-an-asv-vulnerability-scan\/\">does\nall of that but also provides instructions on remediation<\/a>. You\u2019re not\ntrying to blindly fix a problem \u2014 you\u2019re leveraging advice from the world\u2019s\nsecurity leader. Nobody knows how to fight malware better than Sectigo, and\nthat\u2019s who\u2019s telling you how to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that, Sectigo HackerGuardian PCI scanner also\nproduces ready-to-submit reports. The tedium that typically comes with\ndocumenting scans and then submitting them has been replaced by an automated\nprocess where Sectigo puts all of the requisite information together for you,\nand all you need to worry about is getting it to the bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody else does that with their scanner. And here\u2019s the\ncoup de grace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sectigo Sells the Cheapest Scanner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we say that Sectigo has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/resources\/1664how-much-does-a-pci-asv-scan-cost\/\">the\ncheapest ASV scanner<\/a>, we don\u2019t mean that in terms of being shoddily made;\nwe mean cheap in terms of price alone. Nobody sells their PCI scanner for less\nthan Sectigo \u2014 period. Many scanners can cost thousands or even tens of\nthousands of dollars and they have no where near the functionality or suite of\ntests that HackerGuardian boasts. Why would you buy something that\u2019s 10 times\nmore expensive, but only does half as much?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is what makes Sectigo HackerGuardian PCI Scanner such a\ncompelling choice. It retails starting around $250. We sell it for a third that\nprice, starting at just $81.90. That gets you an unlimited number of PCI quarterly\nscans on up to five IP addresses. There are higher classes of plans like\nEnterprise and HackerProof, both of which come with unlimited quarterly PCI\nquarterly scans, up to four times as many IP addresses (20 IP addresses for\neach plan), and a trust seal. Additional IP address packs are available, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HackerGuardian PCI scanning takes the hassle out of PCI DSS requirement\n11 by performing scans, offering actionable advice, and producing\nready-to-submit reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one else does that. And nobody sells it for less than we do. We guarantee it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"item-bluebox\">\n  <div class=\"bluebox-text\">\n    <p class=\"item-title\">Save 67% on PCI ASV Scanning<\/p>\n    <p class=\"item-text\">Stay compliant with Sectigo&#8217;s HackerGuardian PCI Scanner for only $81.90\/year.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/sectigo\/hackerguardian\" class=\"button whitelinebutton\">Start Scanning<\/a>\n  <div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only does PCI DSS require quarterly vulnerability scans (and reports), it also requires you to work with an ASV vendor, or what\u2019s known as an \u201capproved scanning vendor\u201d or \u201cASV vulnerability scan vendor.\u201d In the industry, there are many &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/resources\/whos-the-best-asv-vendor-for-pci-scanning\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[121],"class_list":["post-1723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pci-compliance","tag-asv-vendor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Who&#039;s the Best ASV Vendor for PCI Scanning? - The SSL Store<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"With so many choices, it&#039;s hard to know who is the best ASV vendor.
