Project details
You will get a structured compliance program designed to prepare your organization for certification under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The project ensures that cardholder data environments (CDEs) are secure, resilient, and aligned with the latest PCI DSS requirements, reducing risk and ensuring trust with payment processors, banks, and customers.
The initiative emphasizes:
• Gap Assessment — identifying weaknesses in current payment security controls.
• Network Security Implementation — deploying firewalls, segmentation, and intrusion detection.
• Access Control — enforcing least privilege, strong authentication, and role‑based access.
• Encryption & Data Protection — securing cardholder data at rest and in transit.
• Audit & Certification Preparation — training staff, validating evidence, and simulating QSA assessments.
• Continuous Compliance — embedding monitoring, reporting, and remediation into daily operations.
