What is PCI Compliance?

How Can a QSA Service Provider Help

The PCI DSS security requirements apply to all system components included in or connected to the cardholder data environment. The cardholder data environment (CDE) is comprised of people, processes and technologies that store, process, or transmit cardholder data or sensitive authentication data. “System components” include network devices, servers, computing devices, and applications. As a certified QSA service provider, we can help your organization become PCI compliant and eliminate data breaches.

Credit card companies that aim to protect cardholder data, jointly release PCI DSS. The standard requires members, merchants, and service providers using credit card facilities to carry out regular PCI Scans and PCI Security Audits after implementing the standard. We are one of the best-certified PCI DSS QSA compliance assessment consulting services and we can help you in your pursuit of becoming PCI compliant by conducting a gap analysis, implementing the necessary controls and preparing the Attestation of Compliance (AOC), Report on Compliance (ROC), Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), Quarterly ASV Scans & VA Internal & External.
