Compliance
As technology becomes more advanced, regulations become more complicated.
Organizations that accept credit card payments must comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS), a set of requirements intended to protect the security of cardholder data. The penalties for noncompliance are steep and include fines, elevated transaction fees, reputational damage, and, finally, an inability to accept credit card payments.
As businesses and compliance obligations evolve, confusion arises around PCI requirements. Securance makes the process less daunting by providing prioritized, concrete remediation recommendations to help you achieve and sustain compliance.
Our team of consultants, including PCI Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs), provides the following services:
Securance determines your current state of PCI compliance and readiness to undergo a formal QSA audit or complete the appropriate Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). We help you to understand areas of noncompliance and develop a formal strategy to maintain compliance across the enterprise.
Securance performs a penetration test of the cardholder data environment (CDE) to identify network, web application, and operating system vulnerabilities that could expose credit card data to cyber attacks. PCI penetration tests are typically performed annually.
Businesses that fall within PCI Merchant Levels 2, 3, and 4 can typically self-certify against PCI DSS requirements using an SAQ form. Our consultants will determine which SAQ is appropriate and help your staff complete the questionnaire.
PCI compliance is an annual process. Securance helps clients monitor compliance throughout the year and continually improve their compliance programs to avoid last-minute anxiety and pressure.

IT risk is a major concern for any organization, public or private. To protect your data, your reputation, and your bottom line, you need an effective, dynamic IT risk management strategy.
Business leaders hesitate to invest in governance because they think of it as an optional expense. IT leaders resist governance because they assume it will result in micromanagement. However, when properly designed and implemented, IT governance makes life easier for both sides.
