PCI DSS 4.0 wants risk-based, continuous VM
Targeted risk analyses and continuous vulnerability management replace point-in-time scans. Auditors expect evidence of prioritization, not just remediation counts.
Industry
Exposure management for Retail
Stores, e-commerce and payments run on a sprawling, seasonal attack surface where a change freeze can last a quarter. Zafran shows which exposures are exploitable right now and mitigates them with existing controls, freeze or not.
Pressures
What retail security teams are up against
Attack surface
Storefront, POS and third-party platforms
E-commerce platforms, payment integrations and thousands of store endpoints expose the brand through partners you do not control.
Operational reality
Peak-season change freezes
From October to January nothing ships. Exposure still does. Mitigation through existing controls is the only move available.
Regulations & frameworks
Evidence your auditors will ask for
Zafran's validation record shows which exposures were exploitable, which were mitigated by a control, and when. That is the artifact these frameworks want.
- PCI DSS 4.0
- CCPA / state privacy
- E-commerce platform risk
- Peak-season change freezes
How Zafran helps
Three lifecycle stages that matter most in retail
01 · Continuous Discovery & Detection
Inventory the storefront and the stores
Agentless discovery across cloud, e-commerce and store networks, reconciled with scanner and CMDB data.
- Internet-facing assets and APIs
- POS and store endpoint coverage
- Third-party platform components
UI · topology
02 · Assess & Validate
Focus on what touches cardholder data
Score by reachability, runtime presence, exploitation and criticality so the PCI scope gets the attention and everything else gets the right SLA.
- Scope-aware prioritization
- Evidence for targeted risk analyses
- Exploitation intelligence correlated to your stack
UI · funnel
03 · Risk Mitigation
Mitigate through the freeze
When a critical drops in December, apply the WAF, EDR or network control that closes the path, and patch after peak.
- No code or config change to production
- Control coverage visible per finding
- Auditable mitigation record

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Zafran support PCI DSS 4.0?
PCI DSS 4.0 requires risk-based vulnerability management and targeted risk analyses. Zafran provides the exploitability evidence and mitigation record those analyses need.
What happens during a change freeze?
Zafran mitigates exploitable exposures through the controls you already run, with no change to production code or configuration, and queues the patch for after peak.
Can Zafran cover store and POS endpoints?
Yes. It ingests findings from the scanners and EDR covering those endpoints and maps them to network and endpoint controls.
How does Zafran handle third-party e-commerce platforms?
Discovery identifies the components and integrations exposed to the internet, and reachability analysis shows which ones can actually be attacked.
