Auditors and customers increasingly ask for evidence of regular application security testing. Standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA and NIST 800-53 all expect vulnerabilities to be identified and fixed. DAST results, mapped to those controls, provide that evidence.

How it works

Each vulnerability a scanner finds relates to controls in one or more frameworks. A compliance report groups the findings by control, shows which controls pass or fail, and records what was tested and when.

Why it matters

• Saves hours of manual mapping before an audit.
• Gives auditors consistent, repeatable evidence.
• Helps prioritise fixes that affect compliance.

Best practices

• Scan on a regular schedule so evidence is always current.
• Keep reports from each scan as an audit trail.
• Retest fixes so reports show remediation, not just discovery.
• Remember that a scanner report supports compliance; it does not certify it.

How Vooki Pro helps

• Compliance reports mapped to OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS v4.0, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and SOC 2.
• Per-severity breakdowns for each control, with an "Advisory" status so informational findings do not count as failures.
• Standard reports in HTML, PDF, Word and JSON, including highlighted request and response evidence.
• Reports include triage and retest status, not just raw findings.

Frequently asked questions

Does PCI DSS require application vulnerability scanning?

PCI DSS v4.0 requires public-facing web applications to be protected and assessed for vulnerabilities; DAST is a common way to provide evidence.

Does a scan report make me compliant?

No. It is evidence for specific controls. Compliance depends on your whole programme and your auditor.
