Problem as stated
The jewelry retailer's web and mobile apps handle payments and customer data, and it had no clear view of their security posture. Payment gateways and APIs might expose card and personal details, the apps were open to DDoS, phishing and malware, and a breach could halt sales. It wanted weaknesses found and fixed, payment data protected and the apps brought in line with security standards. [ev-1138]

Reading notes for a buyer
This case speaks to the scenario “Payments and PCI scope” and feeds dimension D8 (Compliance and security evidence) of the methodology. A question to put to Aspire Systems:
Which of the reported vulnerabilities sat in the payment flow, and was PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard: the security rules for any business that stores, processes or transmits card data.) scope part of the test plan? [ev-1138]
