PCI DSS QSA Assessments and Certification | Atlanta GA

Scoping & Gap Assessments: Our scoping and gap assessments involve a comprehensive review of your organization's cardholder data environment (CDE) to identify the scope of PCI DSS compliance requirements. We work closely with your team to understand your business processes, IT infrastructure, and data flows to determine where cardholder data is stored, processed, or transmitted. Our gap assessment identifies any deficiencies or vulnerabilities in your current security controls and practices, providing actionable recommendations for remediation.

Remediation: Following the gap assessment, our team assists your organization in developing and implementing remediation strategies to address any identified deficiencies and bring your environment into compliance with PCI DSS requirements. This may include implementing technical controls, enhancing security policies and procedures, and providing staff training to ensure ongoing compliance.

Policy Writing: Our experts collaborate with your organization to develop customized policies and procedures that align with PCI DSS requirements and best practices for data security. This includes developing policies related to access control, network security, data encryption, incident response, and more. Our policies are tailored to your organization's specific needs and are designed to provide clear guidance for maintaining compliance.
