And Helped These Leaders Handle Compliance Issues

Companies that accept credit cards must comply with PCI-DSS certification to protect their customers’ sensitive financial data. 

We offer thorough, comprehensive assessments to ensure compliance with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements, whether through a full ROC or SAQ, tailored to your organization’s needs.

Our experienced QSAs streamline the assessment process, minimizing disruption to your operations while ensuring thorough evaluation and compliance validation.

At the end of the assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing assessment findings, compliance status, and actionable recommendations for addressing any gaps, providing assurance to stakeholders and regulatory bodies.

We understand that compliance can be dreadful.

Because of this, our goal is to simplify the process as your trusted QSA.

Our team of assessors has been working for the past 17 years to handle every aspect of your PCI-DSS attestation or certification needs.

  • Your external Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) who completes a ROC or QSA assisted SAQ.
  • Conducts penetration testing, manages the scanning and phishing assessments needed to attest to your compliance with PCI-DSS standards.
RoC

PCI Report on Compliance (RoC)

  • Parameter Security will serve as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) to perform a PCI Assessment for your environment and fill out all applicable paperwork.
  • This assessment is completed through remote and onsite reviews of policies, standards, and procedures in place and used by the organization. We will also verify that controls are implemented that enforce the organizational security program.
  • This 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.
  • At the end of the audit, the QSA will provide a Report on Compliance (RoC) to the client to demonstrate the client’s compliance with the PCI SSC’s specifications. Parameter Security will also provide a 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.
QSA Assisted SAQ

QSA Assisted Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)

  • Parameter Security 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).
  • Parameter Security will validate the scope of the assessment, review your documentation and technical information, and provide support and guidance during the compliance process.
  • In order to maintain PCI compliance, the client is required to complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire. Per PCI guidelines, a merchant may retain a QSA to assist in completing the SAQ.
  • The questionnaire demonstrates the company’s compliance with the 12 Requirements of the PCI DSS.

The end.

Success look like…

  • Steer clear of financial, business or regulatory issues
  • These include financial penalties in the form of fines, loss of customer trust as well as additional forensic examination (to name a few)

And avoids…

  • If you do not comply with PCI standards, you risk fines ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, as well as higher credit card processing fees or loss of your merchant account
  • Non-compliance can lead to suspension of your ability to accept credit cards, making you liable for any fraud charges
  • Failing to comply means you may be subject to a mandatory forensic examination
  • Banks and payment processors will terminate their relationships with non-compliant merchants
