PCI RoC Service
We prepare your organization for a PCI Report on Compliance (RoC) and connect you with our qualified QSA partners who will perform the formal assessment for your environment and complete all applicable paperwork.
A PCI RoC details an organization’s security posture, environment, systems, and protection of cardholder data.
- The RoC is developed through a thorough assessment completed by a QSA that includes remote and onsite audits and reviews of policies, standards, and procedures in place and used by the organization.
- The assessment will show whether the merchant or service provider adheres to the 12 technical and operational requirements of the Data Security Standards (DSS) comprising nearly 400 individual controls established by the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) to protect cardholder data.
- A summary of findings is developed which culminates in a final Report on Compliance (RoC) that demonstrates the client’s compliance with the PCI SSC's specifications, with an included PCI Attestation of Compliance (AoC) certifying the client’s compliance with PCI-DSS.
The standardization of reporting allows your organization to give every stakeholder, client, or interested party a clear representation of your status on PCI compliance.
PCI SAQ Service
The PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is a tool used to document an organization’s self-assessment of their security practices concerning cardholder data. There are nine different SAQ types which apply variably to different organizations depending on how they process, handle, and store cardholder data. This service will assist the client in determining the level of compliance required based on the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) set by the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC).
We will validate the scope of the assessment, review your documentation and technical information, and provide support and guidance during the compliance process.
- The assessment will show whether the merchant or service provider adheres to the 12 technical and operational requirements of the Data Security Standards (DSS) comprising nearly 400 individual controls established by the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) to protect cardholder data.
- Our review and validation includes PCI Attestation of Compliance (AoC) certifying the client’s compliance with PCI-DSS.
The standardization of reporting allows your organization to give every stakeholder, client, or interested party a clear representation of your status on PCI compliance.
