Payments path exposure
The path that moves money is the path that matters. Continuous validation against PCI in-scope assets, with the evidence chain regulators ask for.
Industry · Financial services
PCI scope without the
quarterly fire drill.
Financial-services security teams are graded on payment path exposure, third-party processor risk, and the evidence pack that regulators read deeper than the audit summary. CTEM-aligned validation produces that evidence continuously — not the week before the auditor lands.
Where CTEM lands
The four exposure dimensions that matter in finance.
Third-party processor sprawl
Every new integration expands the attack surface. EASM continuously enumerates third-party endpoints touching your environment — including the ones procurement signed without telling AppSec.
PCI scope creep
Assets drift in and out of PCI scope as architecture evolves. VTX tags assets by tier at scope time and re-evaluates as cloud, network, and code changes happen.
Operational resilience evidence
DORA requires continuous testing evidence, not annual reports. Re-validation on close + audit log + framework mapping produces the artifacts your operational-resilience program needs.
In practice
Three scenarios from a typical Tuesday.
- 02:18
New CISA KEV entry — payment gateway library
CRPS fires on every asset using the affected version. Validation runs within the hour. P0 ticket with reproduction lands in the platform team's Jira before US markets open.
- 14:02
New cloud reporting DB stands up · contains PII
CloudTrail event triggers misconfig + access scan. The new DB is auto-tagged as in-scope for PCI based on PII detection rules. Reporting team gets the cross-walk before procurement signs.
- 09:31
Q3 PCI evidence pack assembled
No fire drill. Every finding from the quarter is already mapped to PCI requirements 6 and 11. The compliance team exports the evidence pack from a single dashboard.
Regulatory frame
What auditors ask, what we produce.
- PCI DSS 4.0 Requirements 6 + 11 mapping · continuous evidence
- SOX IT controls Change-management + access-control attestation
- DORA (EU) Operational resilience testing evidence
- GLBA Customer information safeguards · USA
- NYDFS Part 500 Cybersecurity program for NY-regulated entities
