What is a PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) and do I need one?

If your business stores, processes, or transmits credit card data, PCI DSS requires quarterly external vulnerability scans by a PCI-approved vendor. Clone Systems has been an Approved Scanning Vendor for 19 years.

What is the difference between vulnerability scanning and penetration testing?

Vulnerability scanning is automated and continuous, surfacing known weaknesses across your environment. Penetration testing simulates real-world attacks to validate what an attacker could actually do with those weaknesses. Most compliance frameworks require both.

Do you offer 24/7 monitoring and response?

Yes. Our US-based Security Operations Center is staffed by certified analysts around the clock, every day of the year, backed by SIEM & Endpoint Protection for real-time correlation and response.

What compliance frameworks do your scans support?

Our scan findings and reporting can be mapped to virtually any security or regulatory framework, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. If your auditors use a different framework, we align the evidence to it.

What is new in the next generation of CloneGuard?

The same trusted scan engine now adds agent-based scanning for continuous endpoint visibility, credentialed scanning for deeper inspection, and an AI assistant that explains and prioritizes every finding in plain language.

Can I resell Clone Systems services under my own brand?

Yes. We offer white-label reselling of our full scanning suite, including PCI ASV scanning, for hosting providers, payment processors, QSAs, and specialty industries. Reselling managed security is a separate conversation.

How long has Clone Systems been in business?

Clone Systems has been a managed security services provider since 1998, with more than 25 years of continuous experience protecting organizations from small businesses to Fortune 500s.

How do I get started?

You can purchase most scans online in minutes with transparent pricing, or schedule a 20-minute demo to talk through managed services and larger deployments.
