Technical compliance evidence
for 5 major standards.
Most compliance work is paperwork. The technical bits — encryption in transit, access control, secure software development, vulnerability management — are exactly what an automated scanner can verify on every commit. Each guide below maps the standard's requirements to the AuditCore scanners that produce evidence.
Any system that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data
Mandatory for processing card payments. Non-compliance = fines + loss of merchant agreement.
Any service processing EU resident personal data
Article 32 demands appropriate technical measures. Breaches → up to 4% global revenue fine.
Org-wide ISMS — Annex A controls cover technical security
The global de-facto certification for enterprise security buyers. Required by most B2B procurement.
Essential + important entities across 18 EU sectors
In force since 2024. Member states transposed the directive — enforcement + fines now active.
US healthcare providers, plans, clearinghouses, and business associates
Security Rule § 164.308 + § 164.312 require risk analysis + technical safeguards.
How automated audits fit into compliance work
An automated scanner like AuditCore covers the technical requirements — vulnerability scanning, secure configuration verification, encryption checks, access control testing. It does notreplace a compliance consultant or QSA. Each per-standard page below lists exactly what we cover, what's partial, and what's manual / out of scope. That honesty keeps you out of trouble at audit time.
