PCI Readiness
Evaluates your organization's preparedness for compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
What is it?
PCI Readiness is a proactive assessment designed to evaluate your organization's preparedness for compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This service identifies gaps in your current environment, helping you understand where you stand and what must be addressed before undergoing a formal assessment or Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ).
Our assessment involves a comprehensive review of your practices concerning the management of cardholder data, ensuring that you are adequately prepared to comply with the rigorous standards established by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Interviews & Evidence Sampling
We interview stakeholders across IT, security, operations, and development to understand how controls are implemented and enforced.

Risk Ranking & Remediation Guidance
Gaps are prioritized by risk level and business impact, and we offer practical, scalable remediation guidance.
