What we cover
Practical, board-ready consulting — no jargon, no surprise invoices.
PCI Scope Assessment
We assess where card data flows in your environment and identify how to reduce PCI scope — using tokenisation, P2PE, or network segmentation.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)
We help you complete the right SAQ (A, A-EP, B, C, or D) — answering each requirement with evidence and remediation.
Scope Reduction Strategy
We design a scope reduction strategy — isolating card data so most of your environment is out of PCI scope, reducing cost and effort.
Requirement Implementation
We help implement the 12 PCI DSS requirements — firewall, encryption, access control, monitoring, and vulnerability management.
QSA Coordination
For Level 1 merchants or service providers requiring a ROC, we coordinate with a Qualified Security Assessor and prepare you for the audit.
Ongoing Compliance
PCI DSS is ongoing — we help you maintain compliance with quarterly scans, annual SAQ renewal, and continuous monitoring.
How we work
