In 2004, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) created information security requirements for organizations that accept credit card payments. PCI processing involves an exchange of personal information over the networks of many other organizations, leading to the need for a standard that protects cardholder data. What are these PCI industry standards? Who can help you achieve PCI compliance? The Parameter Security team of PCI Qualified Service Assessors (QSAs) are ready to partner with you to manage your PCI compliance requirements.
Which PCI requirements apply to you? PCI standards can include requirements for an ROC (Report on Compliance), an Attestation of Compliance (AOC), and/or one of nine types of a Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). Parameter Security is ready to help you to determine which standards you need to meet to ensure PCI compliance.
Since 2007, clients have hired Parameter Security as an experienced security and accountability partner so that they don’t have to manage their risk alone.
Some organizations hire their accounting firm to conduct PCI assessments that simply “check the box.” This approach may help a company comply. Parameter Security has been a QSA company since 2014 and has more specialized expertise to deliver both PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) certification and the services required to support that compliance.
In the PCI bundle, Parameter Security also conducts network and web application penetration assessments and training, enabling you to develop a more mature security program. We approach this process as a partnership, working shoulder-to-shoulder with you to share results early and often. We provide you with options to remediate security issues quickly and effectively.
