Pre-Engagement
Conduct a preliminary company analysis better to understand the card processes and the surrounding world, and then narrow the scope accordingly.
What is
PCI DSS Compliance Audit
PCI DSS is an internationally recognized data security standard that applies to businesses that process credit card information. The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) is responsible for overseeing the Standard, which is intended to safeguard credit card and debit card transactions against theft and fraud. On the other hand, while the set Standard is not a legal requirement, it is necessary to safeguard cardholder data and debit/credit card transactions. As a result, all businesses that accept and process debit and credit card payments must conduct a PCI DSS audit on an annual basis. Typically, an audit of security controls and processes would be included, such as data retention, encryption, physical security, authentication, and access management.
Our approach to PCI DSS Compliance Audit
1
2
Scoping
The entire compliance program is predicated on the importance of accurately defining your environment. At this point, a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) will assist you in identifying the business units that store, process, and transmit cardholder data in relation to the strategy phase identified above. This ensures that scope reduction strategies are documented and agreed upon. After this stage, a clear and negligible scope for compliance should remain.
3
Gap Analysis
Our Consultants will assess the existing infrastructure for gaps against the PCI security standards council, including a physical security audit. The findings will be compiled into a report defining your degree of compliance, and the risk treatment plan will be used to compile the PCI-DSS and Policy Rollout Strategy.

Awareness Training
Our Security Consultants will conduct awareness sessions for your IT team and other personnel involved in card data processing, providing a brief overview of the PCI DSS.

Our security consultants will identify your organization's information assets and classify them according to their criticality to create an asset inventory.

Why
PCI DSS Compliance Audit?
If you are a merchant or service provider that stores, handles, or transmits cardholder data, PCI enforcement is essential to your organization's operational security. A non-compliant company can face significant fines and penalties, as well as the loss of the right to accept card payments, loss of revenue, diminished consumer trust, and legal costs. PCI enforcement demonstrates your commitment to security and reassures clients about the security of their cardholder data.
Why
HACKERSERA?

Our Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) will guide you through the PCI compliance process from initial examination to full compliance in the most effective and least intrusive manner possible.
