What the engagement covers

A readiness engagement for payment environments: we establish what is actually in scope, measure it against the standard and help you close the gaps.

Scoping

We map where cardholder data is stored, processed and transmitted, and identify connected systems, so the scope reflects your real environment.

Gap assessment

We compare your current controls against the PCI DSS requirements and hand you a prioritized list of what is missing and why it matters.

Guided remediation

We do not leave you with a report. We work with your teams to implement controls and produce the documentation the standard expects.

Audit preparation

We get the evidence, the policies and the technical controls in order so the formal assessment finds a prepared environment.

How it works

Three phases, each with a defined output, so you always know where the project stands.

Consultation and scoping

A call with a PCI specialist to understand your payment flows and define what falls inside the cardholder data environment. Output: a documented scope.

Gap assessment

We assess your controls against the requirements and quantify the distance to compliance. Output: a prioritized remediation roadmap.

Remediation and audit preparation

We implement alongside your team and assemble the evidence set. Output: an environment prepared for the formal assessment.

Frequently asked questions

What does PCI DSS readiness mean?

It is the work that comes before the formal assessment: defining the real scope of your cardholder data environment, measuring your current controls against the PCI DSS requirements, closing the gaps and assembling the evidence. The goal is to reach the assessment prepared instead of discovering problems during it.

What does the initial consultation include?

A call with a PCI specialist. We review your payment flows and your current situation, clarify what applies to your case and explain the scope and phases of the project. There is no cost and no commitment. The formal scoping and gap assessment are the first phase of the engagement itself.

Do you perform the formal PCI DSS assessment?

No. This engagement covers readiness only: scoping, gap assessment, guided remediation and audit preparation. The formal assessment is a separate process that your organization contracts independently.

Do you work with fintech and e-commerce companies?

Yes. We work with payment environments across different profiles. The scoping phase is exactly where we establish what applies to your particular architecture and volume.
