About PCI DSS
What is a PCI DSS Certification?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards developed by major credit card companies to protect cardholder information and reduce the risk of fraud. Companies that handle credit card information must comply with the PCI DSS or risk fines, penalties, data breaches, and loss of customer trust.

Project Kickoff Call

Once the client approves the proposal, the security team will set up a Slack channel and contact the client for a kickoff call to discuss the process and request access to their compliance tool and additional information.
Once the team has access, the team conducts a review of inventory, policies, and ISMS documentation. We ask the client for any queries or evidence in between and at the end of the initial review.
