Understanding PCI DSS Compliance

Trust is the most important factor that is forming decisions for customers globally in the retail industry. An increased number of retail organizations are deploying new forms of experiences in the form of technology. For the protection of data exchanged at the point of sale (PoS), PCI Security Standards Council devised a set of guidelines and regulations in 2006 to establish security in payments processing. It is applicable to entities that deal with Cardholder Data (CHD) and Sensitive Authentication Data (SAD)

It becomes important whom you choose as your qualified security assessor (QSA) because they are responsible for carrying out a range of roles during PCI DSS assessment. SharkStriker comprises compliance consultants and cyber security experts with industry experience to provide you with seamless PCI DSS compliance. We render continuous support and guidance for the entire compliance execution. We ensure that there is no margin for error from verification of all the technical information to checking whether the standards are met.

Gap assessment

Once we are done defining the scope, we conduct a gap assessment to determine the existing gaps in compliance and vulnerabilities that are to be taken care of.

Post implementation audit

After the implementation we conduct an audit to check if all the measures are taken correctly and all the controls are rightly implemented with the right technology. If gaps are found, we take remedial measures to treat them.

Training and awareness

Since many of the data breaches are caused by exploitation of vulnerabilities that arise out of human error, we engage in training and awareness. We create the right set of training modules and awareness programs that raise awareness amongst all the employees and provide the right set of information to the key people.
