A penetration tester needs to perform a test on a finance system that is PCI DSS v3.2.1 compliant. Which of the following is the MINIMUM frequency to complete the scan of the system?
According to the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) v3.2.1 requirement 11.2.2, vulnerability scans should be conducted at least quarterly or after any significant change in the network or application.
According to the document provided "...Run internal and external network vulnerability scans at least quarterly and after any significant change in the network...".
Page 23, Requirement 11.2.
Attention !!! It said scan not Penetration Test
11.2 Run internal and external network vulnerability scans at least quarterly and after any significant change in the network. Address vulnerabilities and perform rescans as needed, until passing scans are achieved. After passing a scan for initial PCI DSS compliance, an entity must, in subsequent years, complete four consecutive quarters of passing scans. Quarterly external scans must be performed by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). Scans conducted after network changes and internal scans may be performed by internal staff.

D - 100%
11.3 Develop and implement a methodology for penetration testing that includes external and
internal penetration testing at least annually and after any significant upgrade or modification
https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/PCI_DSS-QRG-v3_2_1.pdf
PCI DSS Quick Reference Guide -Understanding the Payment Card Industry- Data Security Standard version 3.2.1 11.3 "Develop and implement a methodology for penetration testing that includes external and internal penetration testing at least annually and after any significant upgrade or modification. If segmentation is used to reduce PCI DSS scope, perform penetration tests at least annually to verify the segmentation methods are operational and effective. Service providers using segmentation must confirm PCI DSS scope by performing penetration testing on segmentation controls at least every six months and after making changes to these controls.
THIS SHOULD BE C. PCI DSS requires quarterly vulnerability/penetration tests, not weekly.
