COMPLIANCE & STRATEGY

PCI DSS Readiness

Clarify your scope. Protect payment data.

Make payment security requirements easier to understand and act on. Map payment flows, identify gaps, and prepare for applicable validation activities.

01 / THE CHALLENGE

Payment flows define the work ahead.

  • 01 You are adding a payment channel or provider
  • 02 Your bank has requested documentation
  • 03 You need a remediation plan ahead of validation

Different payment channels, providers, and connected systems can make responsibilities difficult to untangle. Readiness work organizes the environment and the next steps for validation.

THIS IS A GOOD FIT WHEN

02 / WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Expertise you can put to work.

Payment-flow and scope review

Payment channels, relevant systems, third parties, and scope considerations.

PCI DSS gap assessment

Relevant technical and procedural gaps with supporting observations.

Prioritized remediation roadmap

Actions and ownership recommendations for payment-security improvements.

Validation preparation and handoff

Support organizing evidence and reviewing open items with your team and designated assessor. Your proposal confirms the deliverables, scope, responsibilities, and schedule for your engagement.

A clear handoff for the people making decisions and the people delivering the work.

03 / HOW WE WORK
