Share PCI Scan

This workflow allows you to share the results from a PCI external scan launched in the VM application with the PCI service.

Select PCI from the application picker. You'll be prompted to activate the PCI compliance service. Click the Activate Now button. A new PCI Merchant account will be created for you and linked automatically to your VM account. Optionally, go to VM/VMDR > Scans > Setup > PCI Account Links to see your previously linked PCI accounts or to add new accounts.

Go to VM/VMDR > Scans and select a PCI external scan in the scans list.

It's not possible for you to share a PCI scan with a PCI account if scan sharing to that account is in progress (when sharing is in progress, you'll see the share status is "Queued" or "In Progress").

Click the "Share with PCI" link in the scan preview pane. Identify the PCI Merchant account you want to share this scan with and click Share.

Click the Launch button next to a PCI account to log into the PCI service. Once logged in, you will see the PCI scan on the Scan Results list (in Network > Scan Results).

In PCI, view the scan results shared by VM on the Scans page (Network > Scan Results). The Scan Type column indicates whether it is an IP or DNS scan result. You can download the scan results in PDF format.

- If FQDNs are added as target hosts, scan results are available as DNS scans.

- If IP addresses are added as target hosts, scan results are available as IP scans. 

- If FQDNs and IP addresses are added as target hosts, scan results are available as IP scans.
