PCI Compliance Roadmap

The process to becoming PCI compliant can seem complex and the task daunting, and at times it can be. You can become compliant in 4 steps:

1. GAP analysis - where needs and compliance deficiencies are identified
2. Remediation - all deficiencies are addressed
3. PCI Assessment (Audit) - pass/fail audit - a yearly requirement
4. Compliance Monitoring - the only way to remain secure

PCI Data Security Assessment (Audit)

The Security Assessment (often called a Security Audit or PCI Audit) is the required procedure that is performed by an independent QSA. If you are required to have this assessment you will have been notified by your Acquiring Bank or your Card Brand.

The Security Assessment process is very similar to the Gap Analysis but it is the official assessment. When the Audit is complete the QSA will produce the final report. At the direction of the client, the QSA will submit the final report to the Acquiring Bank or Card Brand and the PCI Security Standards Council.
