PCI GAP Analysis

If your organization is preparing for its first PCI DSS assessment or needs to align with the latest PCI requirements, the best place to start is with a PCI GAP Analysis. At WestNet Consulting Services, our certified PCI QSA experts work closely with you to compare your current security controls with PCI DSS standards, identifying gaps and outlining the steps needed to achieve compliance with payment card industry security requirements.

 

Why Early Involvement Matters

Addressing compliance during the design and implementation phase is far more cost-effective than correcting issues later. Our experience shows that building strong controls early reduces remediation costs, minimizes risk, and ensures systems are designed with compliance in mind. By involving our consultants in your project reviews, you gain practical input on security and internal controls before issues arise, making compliance a natural part of your environment rather than a costly afterthought.

 

Readiness & Informal Reviews

Not ready for a full PCI audit? Our informal PCI reviews give organizations a practical way to evaluate their internal controls without the time and cost of a formal assessment. While less detailed than a full audit, these reviews are invaluable for companies preparing to store, process, or transmit cardholder data for the first time. They provide clear visibility into your current posture and highlight areas to strengthen before undergoing a full PCI assessment.

​

Network Segmentation Support

PCI DSS applies to all systems within or connected to the cardholder data environment (CDE). While network segmentation is not a PCI DSS requirement, it is a best practice that reduces scope, lowers assessment costs, and simplifies ongoing compliance. Our experts help you identify your PCI scope, design effective segmentation strategies, and minimize exposure—reducing both compliance overhead and the risk of data breaches.

​

A Roadmap to Compliance

Our GAP Analysis delivers more than a checklist—it provides a clear, prioritized roadmap to achieve PCI DSS compliance. From identifying missing controls to advising on remediation, WestNet acts as a partner every step of the way, ensuring your compliance efforts are both effective and sustainable.
