Fixed-Fee PCI DSS Scoping & Readiness Assessments

There are literally thousands of business in Manhattan that need to be PCI DSS compliant – we know, we’ve worked with hundreds of them – and luckily, most can become PCI DSS certified through the SAQ process. The only problem is that performing a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) for becoming PCI compliant is sometimes much more challenging than one would think. How so? As you get into the more complex SAQ requirements – such as SAQ A-EP and SAQ D – they require a deep commitment to putting in place all necessary policies, procedures, and processes – and this can take time.

What’s needed is a fixed-fee, cost-effective PCI scoping & readiness assessment that helps in examining your current control environment. With such an engagement, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of scope in terms of business and system boundaries, what gaps and deficiencies exist that need to be remediated, deliverables and milestones to be met, future expectations for subsequent PCI reporting, and much more. There’s simply not a better way to begin your PCI process, so contact us today at pci@pcipolicyportal.com to learn more about our PCI SAQ compliance & certification services for businesses in Manhattan and the greater New York City metropolitan area.

Expert Assistance with Vendor Tools Selection

Many of the areas within the relevant SAQ documents often require the use and implementation of a handful of security software solutions and tools. Think File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), two-factor authentication (2FA), external and internal vulnerability scanning, audit logs and audit trails, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and more. Do you have these tools in place? If not, have you began the process of sourcing vendors? Very quickly, this task can spiral out of control as there are literally hundreds of security providers just waiting to take your money, often selling you the wrong product at the wrong price.  We can help assist in choosing the right vendor at the right product. It’s something we do every day with our client list. Contact us today at pci@pcipolicyportal.com to learn more.
