Intersec PCI Compliance Services provides consulting and assessment services to help organizations meet Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements. The service is delivered by PCI Qualified Security Assessors (QSA) who are qualified by the PCI Security Standards Council to validate adherence to PCI DSS. The service follows a four-step process: GAP analysis to identify compliance deficiencies, remediation to address identified gaps, PCI assessment (annual audit) conducted by independent QSAs, and ongoing compliance monitoring to maintain security posture. During GAP analysis, assessors review an organization's PCI DSS compliance preparedness and provide a roadmap for achieving full compliance. The remediation phase addresses identified deficiencies with implementation support. The annual security assessment produces a final report that can be submitted to acquiring banks, card brands, and the PCI Security Standards Council. The compliance monitoring program provides methodology, tools, and ongoing support to help organizations maintain PCI compliance between annual audits. The service covers organizations that store, process, or transmit payment card data and cardholder data (CHD). Intersec also offers incident response and digital forensics services for organizations experiencing data breaches.
