What is PCI DSS compliance?

Our PCI DSS compliance service helps your business to comply with PCI requirements and ensure accurate PCI validation. The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of comprehensive requirements for enhancing payment account data security. This standard is used globally and was developed by the major card brands (Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Diners and JCB) to help facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures in order to prevent fraud and theft of payment card data.

PCI DSS consists of a large number of technical and organisational security measures, all aimed at providing the highest level of security for the processing and storage of credit card information. So, if your business accepts, stores, or transmits card data, or outsources these functions, PCI DSS compliance validation is required by the card brands and in turn, your acquiring bank.

Despite being a mandatory requirement, there are some very good reasons for being PCI compliant. These are:

For external scanning of ASV vulnerabilities, an approved scan provider certified by PCI SSC (PCI Security Standard Council) is required. Fortytwo is certified to use Qualys as an approved scan provider.

How we work

Our PCI DSS compliance service is a detailed look at your organisation from the Payment Card Industry perspective.
Our PCI DSS assessment comprises a cycle involving four distinct phases that lead to PCI DSS compliance.
Here are the following 4-phases:

Scope Analysis

During this phase the scope and reach of the project is determined. Together with all stakeholders we review PCI DSS and the steps needed to become compliant. An inventory is made of documents such as your policies and procedures, application information, installation manuals, test reports and source-code reviews. The scoping phase is executed using the OpenScoping toolkit, which defines an objective framework of setting the scope.

Gap Analysis / Pre-audit

During this phase we identify the possible problem areas of PCI DSS and create a roadmap to compliance. We will request a relevant documentation of your systems, technical details of your network configuration and relevant documents that describe your business processes.

Remediation

In the remediation phase, all remedial actions are defined, penetration testing is done and evidence for compliance readiness is collected. We provide a detailed report of issues stating your compliance status and any remediation needs. Together we will fix areas of non-compliance and perform the retesting process.

Audit

The onsite PCI DSS Audit is where we meet your team and sample systems in order to gather accurate information to satisfy PCI DSS compliance. The evidence and the full SAQ is checked. If a Report on Compliance (RoC) is needed, the full audit will be performed. During this phase, the Attestation of Compliance (AOC) is generated.
