Gap Analysis
If your company has never gone through a PCI DSS Assessment before or you are addressing PCI DSS version 3.0 controls for the first time, the first step to achieve a compliance would be a PCI Gap Analysis. Our experts will work closely with you to compare your current security controls with PCI DSS version 3.0 requirements and outline the steps needed to achieve a compliance with payment card industry security standards.
Consulting and Early Involvement
It's cheaper to build quality into a product than to try to add it after the fact. Our experience shows that the cost of correcting issues and adding controls post-implementation is significantly higher than the cost of doing it right for the first time. Discussing and brainstorming about how controls should work will help your team design them properly and mitigate the risks. Early involvement is infinitely more cost-effective and efficient than after-the-fact audits, having us part of your project review to provide input on the internal controls of the system or technology will add more value to your company than after the fact PCI Audits.
Informal Audits
Informal PCI Audits can be a great way for a company to review and understand the state of their internal controls without allocating allot of resources and time. Informal PCI audit is not as thorough as a formal audit and we will not find all the issues but its a good tool for a company that is planing to store, process or transmit credit card data for their or clients behalf for the first time.
Network Segmentation
PCI DSS apply to all system components included in or connected to the cardholder data environment (the scope). While network segmentation is not a PCI DSS requirement, it will help you to reduce the size of your PCI DSS scope, reduce the cost of PCI DSS Assessment and ongoing overhead of maintaining PCI DSS compliance. We will help you to identify the scope of your cardholder data environment and assist you with proper network segmentation, reducing the risk of potential data breach.
