NetGuard — Vulnerability Scanner & Hardening

Security Compliance

Continuous compliance with ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NIST and CIS

Turn hardening and vulnerability results into audit-ready evidence. NetGuard maps every technical finding to the controls your auditors check, so you stay compliant every day — not just in audit week.

What is security compliance?

Security compliance means proving that your systems meet the requirements of a standard or regulation — ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, CIS Controls or national rules such as AFTA requirements for critical infrastructure in Iran. Most of these frameworks ask for the same technical foundations: an asset inventory, secure configuration, regular vulnerability assessment, timely patching and evidence that it all keeps working.

Annual audits only show a single day. NetGuard measures those technical controls continuously — hardening against CIS Benchmarks, authenticated vulnerability scans, external attack surface monitoring — and maps the results to framework controls, so gaps are fixed long before the auditor finds them.

Frameworks NetGuard helps you meet

ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Evidence for technical vulnerability management, configuration management and monitoring controls.

PCI DSS 4.0

Secure configurations (Req. 2), patching (Req. 6) and quarterly internal and external scans (Req. 11).

NIST CSF 2.0

Identify and Protect outcomes: asset inventory, vulnerability management and secure baselines.

CIS Controls & Benchmarks

Secure configuration audits and continuous vulnerability management, measured per asset.

AFTA requirements

Hardening, periodic vulnerability assessment and Persian reports for critical infrastructure in Iran.

Internal policies

Custom baselines and SLAs that reflect your own security standards and regulators.

How compliance works with NetGuard

  1. 1

    Scope

    Tag the assets in scope for each framework — card data environment, critical systems, internet-facing services.

  2. 2

    Assess

    Run hardening audits and vulnerability scans against the controls each framework requires.

  3. 3

    Remediate

    Prioritize the gaps by risk, assign owners and track SLAs until every control passes.

  4. 4

    Prove

    Export framework-mapped reports and trends as audit evidence, in Persian or English.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between compliance and security?

Compliance proves that you meet the requirements of a standard on the day of the audit; security is the ongoing ability to prevent and detect attacks. Good compliance programs use continuous technical controls — hardening, vulnerability management and monitoring — so that being compliant and being secure become the same thing.

Which standards require vulnerability scanning?

PCI DSS requires internal and external vulnerability scans at least every three months, ISO/IEC 27001 requires management of technical vulnerabilities (Annex A 8.8), and NIST CSF and CIS Controls both include continuous vulnerability management. Critical infrastructure rules such as AFTA requirements in Iran also expect periodic vulnerability assessment.

Can NetGuard produce audit evidence?

Yes. Findings from hardening audits and vulnerability scans are mapped to ISO 27001, PCI DSS and NIST controls, and NetGuard produces executive and technical reports with trends and SLA status that you can hand to auditors, in Persian or English.

Is CIS Benchmark compliance enough for ISO 27001?

No single benchmark covers ISO 27001, which is a management system standard with organizational, people, physical and technological controls. CIS Benchmarks are, however, an excellent way to implement and prove the technical configuration controls that ISO 27001 auditors look for.
