1. PCI DSS Readiness Assessments: Need to learn more about PCI DSS scope, what’s missing in terms of operational controls and policies and procedures, along with learning about other critical PCI issues? Then it’s time to consider undergoing a comprehensive readiness assessment from Materdei Consulting, LLC. We’ll evaluate your internal controls, providing you with a formalized analysis and plan of actions for moving forward with PCI compliance. As you can see, not performing a PCI DSS readiness assessment – especially for North Carolina merchants and service providers new to PCI compliance – can create immense challenges and roadblocks for PCI DSS certification, so take the time to hire an expert – such as Materdei Consulting, LLC – and perform this vital activity.

2.

For this reason, Materdei Consulting, LLC offers high-quality, easy-to-use PCI policy templates for helping ensure rapid compliance. As a company, do you really have dozens of hours to set aside for authoring PCI DSS policies and procedures – probably not – so hire the experts at Materdei Consulting, LLC, as we’ve been authoring policies and procedures writing services for years, and we’re very good at it.

Visit pcipolicyportal.com today and learn more about our PCI compliance policy toolkits and how we can help you become compliant – quickly and cost-effectively.

3. SAQ Assistance: The PCI DSS standards allow the vast majority of merchants and service providers throughout North America – and the globe – to certify using any number of the actual Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQ). And while “self-assessing” seems to be a rather straightforward process for North Carolina businesses, they often find themselves challenged by many of the questions. Enter Materdei Consulting, LLC, PCI DSS experts who specialize in assisting merchants and service providers with SAQ compliance for PCI.

While the vast majority of businesses are exempt from doing an actual Level 1 onsite assessment, the amount of work required for becoming compliant via the SAQ forms can be just as taxing, it really can, especially SAQ A-EP and SAQ-D, which are include testing provisions equal to that of an onsite assessment. From SAQ A to SAQ D, the Self-Assessment Questionnaires can be incredibly challenging, so turn to the experts today at Materdei Consulting, LLC by visiting pcipolicyportal.com.

4. PCI Security Awareness Training: Question: What’s the very best way for protecting organizational assets from data security breaches and other threat vectors? If you’ve answered security awareness training, then you’re correct! Remember that all the latest and greatest security products mean essentially nothing if you don’t have well-trained employees who can not only use the tools, but also be on the lookout for the ever-growing threats and issues in today’s cybersecurity world.

Your employees are your greatest asset and strength, so if you’re a business in the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan region and need PCI assistance, talk to Materdei Consulting, LLC today. Many companies we’ve spoken to throughout North Carolina were unfortunately spending thousands of dollars each year on costly, yet low-quality online security awareness training portals.

We gave them a copy of our security awareness training manual, along with the PowerPoint (PPT) presentation, and they were highly impressed. Not only was the content superior to the online training portals, it was included as part of the PCI DSS policy packets available for instant download at pcipolicyportal.com. As for licensing, there’s not limit on how many employees can use it, from 1 to 100,000!

5. PCI Risk Assessment Documents: Performing an annual risk assessment is a direct mandate for most merchants and service providers needing to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). Not only that, it’s also a best practice that companies should be doing, but many are not. Think about it; how can you really run your business without knowing the relevant risks and operational threats that could potentially damage your business? In a world of growing cybersecurity challenges, performing a risk assessment is now more important than ever, so step up to the plate and do the right thing for you, your employees, and your customers.

6. Vendor Selection for Security Tools: Many of the actual mandates within the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) provisions require the use of various security tools, such as software and other devices. Because of this, you’ll need to start gathering information on the various vendors offering such solutions – but we’ve got a better idea – let the trusted experts at Materdei Consulting, LLC help in determining which companies offer the best products and solutions for your business. From FIM tools to WAF products, and more, we’ll put you in touch with the right providers.
