Your Path to Achieving PCI DSS Compliance is a Phone Call Away
I want to tell you about a small non-profit, level 4 merchant who struggled with achieving PCI DSS Compliance.
Two years ago they hired a local QSA company that provided some training and a summary of recommendations. This summary didn’t provide an assessment of where they are vs where they needed to be for PCI Compliance purposes.
Nor did the summary include clear, actionable steps that this non-profit could implement to improve their compliance posture and stop the monthly fines for non-compliance.
After engaging with Payment Card Assessments, we put together a statement of work that provided them with an affordable gap assessment for their cardholder data environments.
In our final set of deliverables we:
1. Outlined actionable steps to improve their processes and procedures, especially around stored payment card data.
2. Provided side by side analysis of v3.2.1 & v4.0 requirements
3. Recommended a path to maintaining continuous PCI Compliance for not just v3.2.1 but for v4.0 as well.
After they crossed the finish line and submitted their attestation of compliance for both their e-commerce and P2P environments, we received the following email:
You gave us more actionable steps than the QSA did. I believe we’ll be thanking you for the next 6 months."
