PCI DSS Services
Meet the current PCI DSS 4.x requirements for storing, processing and transmitting payment card data.
Our approach
PCI DSS compliance methodology
A clear 4-step methodology that takes you all the way to a successful PCI DSS outcome.
Gap assessment
We map your environment against the requirements and identify exactly what stands between you and a successful assessment.
Remediation support
We close the gaps with you — controls, documentation and process changes — prioritized by risk and effort.
Report issuance
The assessment is completed and you receive the report or certification your stakeholders asked for.
Audit period
Controls run and generate the evidence an assessor expects, and your team rehearses what the audit will ask of them.
Your steps to compliance
Our PCI DSS consulting services
Our PCI DSS services are tailored to your organization and cover readiness, gap and assessment offerings — a structured path to compliance rather than a pile of findings.
Readiness services
We evaluate your current security posture, policies and procedures to determine how prepared your organization is for PCI DSS, and set up the groundwork so the rest of the engagement moves quickly.
Gap assessment
We identify where your current systems and practices fall short of the PCI DSS requirements, pinpoint the improvements that matter, and rate each finding by risk so remediation is sequenced sensibly.
Assessment & attestation
A comprehensive review of your systems, documentation and processes against the PCI DSS requirements — ending in the validated report or certification your customers and regulators expect.

Background
About PCI DSS
PCI DSS applies to every organization that stores, processes or transmits payment card data, and version 4.x raised the bar on authentication, encryption and continuous validation. We scope your cardholder data environment, identify where requirements apply, and guide you through a Report on Compliance or Self-Assessment Questionnaire, whichever your transaction volume calls for.
Who this is for
Merchants, payment processors and any service provider that touches cardholder data.

We cover the full journey: readiness evaluation, a risk-rated gap assessment, hands-on remediation support, and coordination of the assessment itself — so you reach the PCI DSS outcome without stitching together multiple vendors.
Usually commercial before legal: deals stall while buyers wait for proof, contracts carry penalties, and regulated frameworks add fines and liability on top. The earlier gaps are found, the cheaper they are to fix — which is why engagements start with an assessment rather than an audit.
It depends on the maturity of your current controls and the scope of your environment. Some engagements move in a few months; frameworks with observation windows take longer. We map the fastest realistic timeline during scoping and compress it wherever the framework allows.
Engagements are priced by scope, not from a price list — the framework, the size and complexity of your in-scope environment, and how mature your existing controls are all factor in. We scope after a short kickoff call so the effort is clear before you commit.
A gap assessment report, a remediation roadmap, the policies and evidence an assessor expects, and the final attestation, certification or validated assessment appropriate to the framework.
