Founded by two women, Payment Card Assessments is a small consulting firm that specializes in PCI DSS Compliance.

After working together for a combined 20+ years at a Fortune 100 company and level 1 merchant, we made the decision to start our own consulting firm so that we could share our wealth of knowledge and experience across the merchant and service provider landscape in a way that helps them Automate | Educate | and Operate.

Together, we created a PCI Compliance Sustainability Program framework that brings together the regulatory requirements of the PCI DSS and security best practices.  More importantly, we made it repeatable and practical through automation.

No one teaches the HOW of PCI DSS Compliance like we do.
