Modern PCI-DSS Penetration Testing, Built for Scale

Penti’s PCI-DSS penetration testing services are designed for organizations that process, transmit, or store payment card data and need to demonstrate real security, not just checkbox compliance. Traditional PCI-DSS pentest approaches can be expensive and outdated. An automated-only pentest can miss exploitable attack paths and business-critical risks.

Penti replaces both with Agentic-AI-driven PCI-DSS compliance pentesting, continuously testing your environment using attacker-based techniques verified by certified human experts. Our AI agents simulate how an external attacker would target your payment systems, identifying real security weaknesses across your cardholder data environment.

Unlike point-in-time PCI-DSS penetration tests, Penti delivers ongoing assurance that your controls are working as intended. Penti helps companies reduce audit friction and maintain compliance throughout the year.
