PCI DSS 4.0 Readiness & Gap Assessment

(Compliance Advisory)
Get audit-ready with an actionable roadmap. We assess scope, policies, network architecture, third‑party dependencies, and compensating controls to identify exactly what’s needed for PCI DSS 4.0 alignment. Deliverables include a prioritized remediation plan, evidence list, and timelines tailored to your business size and merchant level.

Quarterly ASV Scans & Vulnerability Management

(Continuous Compliance)
Stay compliant between audits. We coordinate Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) external scans, authenticated internal scans, and patch management cycles. You get ticket‑ready reports, remediation guidance, and verification rescans to maintain a clean posture throughout the year.

External & Internal Penetration Testing

(Network | Web | App)
Validate security controls with real‑world testing. Our partners perform methodology‑driven tests (OWASP/NIST), exploit verification, and risk‑ranked findings with reproducible steps and remediation guidance—covering internet‑facing assets, internal networks, and critical web or mobile applications.

Segmentation Testing & Scope Reduction

(Micro‑Segmentation + SD‑WAN)
Shrink your PCI scope and costs. We design network segmentation, VLANs, ACLs, and least‑privilege zones, then validate isolation with segmentation testing. SD‑WAN and private circuits keep cardholder data environments (CDE) separate from guest Wi‑Fi, IoT, and back‑office traffic.

Security Architecture for Cardholder Data

(Firewalls | WAF | Zero Trust)
Harden your CDE with managed next‑gen firewalls, secure VPNs, web application firewalls (WAF), IDS/IPS, strong encryption, MFA, centralized logging, and role‑based access. We align controls with PCI requirements while improving user experience and uptime.

Incident Response, SIEM & 24/7 MDR

(SOC‑as‑a‑Service)
Accelerate detection and response with managed SIEM, log retention, threat hunting, and 24/7 SOC analysts. We help build/test your IR plan, run tabletop exercises, and meet PCI evidence requirements for monitoring and incident handling.
