How HackerGuardian Works

HackerGuardian is a fully configurable vulnerability assessment and reporting service for networks and webservers. Our remote audits run over 14,000 individual security tests on your organization’s servers then provide expert advice to help you fix any vulnerabilities. It is available both as configurable ‘on demand’ service leading and as an automated daily service (with free ‘HackerShield’ site seal). Because Comodo is PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), our 'HackerGuardian Scan Control Center' range provides everything a merchant needs to ensure compliancy with the PCI guidelines. Comodo also offers 'HackerGuardian Daily Scanning Service', the vulnerability scanner that builds the trust that builds your business.

• Free PCI Scan is valid for 90 days and allows merchants to achieve PCI scan compliancy free of charge.
• PCI Scan Control Center on-demand security auditing service. Provides PCI Scan compliance reports and includes free Payment Credential CVC.
• PCI Scan Control Center Enterprise as above but allows 100 PCI scans per quarter on up to 20 IP addresses and includes advanced reporting and configuration options.
• Free Vulnerability Scan basic, non-pci vulnerability scanning service that allows home users to test their systems for vulnerabilities.

HackerGuardian PCI Scan Control Center

The PCI Scan Control Center is an on-demand, vulnerability assessment scanning solution to enable merchants and service providers to achieve PCI scan compliance.
After each scan, users receive a comprehensive vulnerability report detailing any security issues alongside remediation advice and advisories to help fix them.

Accessed through a secure online interface, the service is highly configurable and features a free Payment Credential CVC site-seal – helping to reassure web-site visitors that you are authorized to take card payments online.

Following a successful scan (no level 3, 4 or 5 vulnerabilities), merchants are provided with an official PCI compliance report that can be sent to an acquiring bank.

The Standard version enables merchants to run 10 PCI scans per quarter on up to 5 IP addresses using the full complement of over 14,000 individual vulnerability tests.
The Enterprise version is a more powerful and flexible service which provides for up to 100 scans per quarter on 20 IP addresses.

Getting Started with PCI Scan Control Center

Free PCI Scan

The Free PCI Scan service is valid for 90 days and allows merchants to achieve PCI scan compliancy free of charge. The service contains all the functionality of the Scan Control Center but restricts the user to 5 PCI scans per quarter on a maximum of 3 separate IP addresses. The service generates an official ‘PCI Compliant’ report after every successful scan but does not include a Payment Credential CVC.
