How we approach a PCI DSS compliance project
PCI DSS applies to every organization that stores, processes or transmits payment card data. The work starts with scope: which systems, processes and people handle cardholder data or can affect its security.
What you get
What the engagement leaves you with.
A documented PCI DSS scope covering systems, processes and people that touch cardholder data.
Scope reduction options such as segmentation and tokenization, with their impact on effort and cost.
A gap analysis against PCI DSS requirements with a prioritized remediation plan.
Controls designed around your payment processes, so customers and staff are not slowed down.
Frequently asked questions
What are the PCI DSS compliance levels?
PCI DSS has four compliance levels based primarily on transaction volume: - Level 1: Over 6 million transactions annually - Level 2: 1-6 million transactions annually - Level 3: 20,000-1 million e-commerce transactions annually - Level 4: Fewer than 20,000 e-commerce transactions or up to 1 million regular transactions annually
What is PCI DSS scope, and why is scope reduction important?
"Scope" refers to all systems, processes, and personnel that process, store, or transmit cardholder data or could impact their security. Reducing scope through segmentation and tokenization limits where compliance controls must be implemented, significantly reducing costs while improving security.
How much does PCI DSS compliance implementation cost?
Costs depend on your organization's size, complexity, current security posture and compliance level. We provide a quote after an initial assessment, and look for scope reduction options that lower the cost of compliance.
How often do we need to validate PCI DSS compliance?
Formal validation is required annually, but compliance is an ongoing obligation. We recommend quarterly internal reviews between formal validation cycles.
