If your business stores, processes or transmits credit card data, then the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to you. While understanding and adhering to the standards can feel daunting, rest assured we design compliance solutions with your unique needs in mind.
If you already have certain controls in place for other compliance reports, such as a SOC 2 report, we can identify those controls and map them to PCI DSS requirements.
All merchants are required to complete the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). Based on your organization’s payment card processing, we will review your environment, policies, procedures and controls to help you understand the purpose of each question and the response needed to comply with the requirements in the SAQ.
This is the assessment of your current controls against the requirements of PCI DSS. This process allows us the time to identify and address problem areas prior to the onsite assessment.
Onsite PCI DSS Assessments are required for Level 1 merchants and service providers. Following a comprehensive assessment of your environment to ensure you meet all mandates, we partner with Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) to write and submit a Report on Compliance (ROC) to the PCI Council, which validates your compliance.
During the Readiness Engagement, BARR will help you prepare by assessing your controls prior to your onsite assessment. Here are a few tips to ensure your PCI assessment goes smoothly:
Understanding your CDE is often referred to as “requirement zero.” Maintain current network diagrams that reflect how data is transmitted, processed, and stored to ensure your assessment goes smoothly.
Are you a service provider or a merchant? Protect yourself from last-minute surprises by recognizing any specific requirements that may apply to your organization.
Organizations are held accountable on the number of transactions handled annually. Prepare for your audit by having these numbers readily accessible.
