Compliance

DAST & compliance: what each framework actually requires

"Is this tool compliant?" is the wrong question — no scan report makes an application compliant on its own. 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.

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 treats vulnerability scanning the same way. PCI DSS names it directly, with quarterly internal scans and quarterly external scans by an ASV. NIST SP 800-53 RA-5 names it at an organization-defined frequency, and when new vulnerabilities potentially affecting the system are identified. HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 set risk-based requirements without prescribing a method, and SOC 2's criteria address detecting vulnerabilities, assessed by a CPA firm. In each case a scanner is one method that can support part of a requirement — not the requirement itself.

Vooki Pro generates reports for seven compliance and security-reference mappings directly from scan results — no manual remapping of findings to controls.

Choose a compliance framework or security baseline

PCI DSS v4

Requirement 11.3 names vulnerability scanning directly: internal (11.3.1) and external (11.3.2) scans at least once every three months, plus scans after significant changes. For applicable PCI DSS requirements, quarterly external vulnerability scans must be performed by a PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). Vooki Pro's vulnerability reports do not replace a required ASV scan.

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) requires security appropriate to the risk; among the measures it lists, as appropriate, is a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating their effectiveness (32(1)(d)) — no fixed scan cadence.

ISO/IEC 27001

Annex A.8.8 "Management of technical vulnerabilities" — one of 93 controls in the 2022 revision's Technological theme. Vooki Pro's ISO report is a legacy ISO/IEC 27001:2013 mapping (Annex A controls such as A.12.6.1); a 2022-edition control mapping is not currently available.

NIST SP 800-53

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

SOC 2

A CPA firm examines your controls against the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria. Vooki Pro maps findings to seven selected 2017 criteria (CC6.1, CC6.2, CC6.6, CC6.7, CC6.8, CC7.1 and CC7.2) — evidence for that examination, not a SOC 2 report or attestation.

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 and security baselines does Vooki Pro generate reports for?
Seven compliance and security-reference mappings: OWASP Top 10 2021, PCI DSS v4.0, NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (a legacy mapping; a 2022-edition mapping is not currently available), HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 / 2017 Trust Services Criteria (a selected control mapping: CC6.1, CC6.2, CC6.6, CC6.7, CC6.8, CC7.1 and CC7.2). Reports are generated in HTML or PDF and reorganize scan findings control-by-control against the chosen framework.
Does every framework Vooki Pro maps to explicitly require vulnerability scanning?
No — they vary. PCI DSS names vulnerability scanning directly, with quarterly internal and external scans. NIST SP 800-53 RA-5 names it at an organization-defined frequency and when new vulnerabilities potentially affecting the system are identified. HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 require risk analysis, regular security testing, or technical vulnerability management without mandating a specific scanning method. SOC 2 is examined by a CPA firm against the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria; criterion CC7.1 addresses detecting vulnerabilities without naming a scanning method. OWASP Top 10 is a security-awareness baseline, not a legal or audit requirement.
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; a 2025-edition mapping is not currently available.
