Compliance

DAST & compliance: what each framework actually requires

"Is this tool compliant?" is the wrong question — no scanner is certified compliant with anything. The right question is what a given framework requires of your application security testing, and whether a tool's reports give you usable evidence for it. This hub breaks that down framework by framework, sourced from each framework's own text or official guidance, then shows exactly which of Vooki Pro's compliance reports map to it.

"Start 7-Day Trial" submits a request — Vooki Pro's team reviews it and sends the trial license and installation instructions; it is not an instant self-serve activation.

A compliance report is evidence of testing, not a certificate of compliance. Vooki Pro's own report documentation says this explicitly — it shows what was scanned, what was found, and how each finding maps to the framework's controls.

Not every framework mandates vulnerability scanning the same way. PCI DSS and NIST SP 800-53 name it directly with a defined cadence; HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 require risk-based testing without prescribing a method; SOX doesn't address it in the statute at all.

Vooki Pro generates framework-mapped reports for 7 frameworks directly from scan results — no manual remapping of findings to controls.

Browse by framework

Pick your compliance framework

PCI DSS v4

Requirement 11.3 names vulnerability scanning directly: quarterly internal and external scans, off-cycle scans after significant changes.

HIPAA

The Security Rule requires a risk analysis of threats to ePHI. It doesn't name scanning, but HHS guidance treats it as a recognized way to meet that requirement.

GDPR

Article 32(1)(d) requires a process for regularly testing and evaluating the effectiveness of your security measures — risk-based, not a fixed checklist.

ISO/IEC 27001

Annex A.8.8 "Management of technical vulnerabilities" — one of 93 controls in the 2022 revision's Technological theme.

NIST SP 800-53

RA-5 "Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning" names scanning explicitly, with scan cadence and remediation timeframes left as organization-defined parameters.

SOX

Section 404 doesn't mention vulnerability scanning — auditors typically assess it as an IT general control supporting financial-reporting-system integrity.

OWASP Top 10

Not a compliance law, but the baseline most assessors expect. Vooki Pro currently maps to the 2021 edition; OWASP published an updated 2025 list in November 2025.

A compliance report is evidence of testing, not a certificate of compliance — your assessor decides what it means for your programme.

FAQ

Common questions

Does passing a DAST scan guarantee compliance with a framework like PCI DSS or ISO 27001?
No. A DAST scan and its compliance report are evidence that testing happened and what it found — they show whether your application met the scanned checks at that point in time. Your auditor or assessor decides what that evidence means for your overall compliance posture; Vooki Pro's own report documentation states this explicitly rather than implying certification.
Which compliance frameworks does Vooki Pro generate reports for?
Seven: OWASP Top 10 (2021 edition), PCI DSS v4, NIST SP 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and SOX. Reports are generated in HTML or PDF and reorganize scan findings control-by-control against the chosen framework.
Do all seven frameworks explicitly require vulnerability scanning?
No — they vary. PCI DSS and NIST SP 800-53 name vulnerability scanning directly, with PCI DSS specifying a quarterly cadence. HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 require risk analysis, regular security testing, or technical vulnerability management without mandating a specific scanning method. SOX doesn't address vulnerability scanning in the statute itself — auditors typically assess it as part of IT general controls when evaluating controls over financial reporting systems.
Is OWASP Top 10 2021 out of date?
OWASP published an updated Top 10:2025 list in November 2025. Vooki Pro's compliance reports currently map to the OWASP Top 10 2021 edition; we have not verified a 2025-mapped report is available yet, and this page will be updated when that changes.
Unverified, explicitly not claimed: the exact text of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A.8.8 (the standard itself is paywalled; wording here is paraphrased from secondary sources and flagged accordingly); whether Vooki Pro's OWASP Top 10 report will be updated to the 2025 edition, or on what timeline.
