Validate compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)

Why you need a PCI DSS compliance assessment

Maintain contractual compliance

Reduce the risk of a breach of payment card data

PCI DSS compliant organisations have a significantly lower risk of suffering a cardholder data breach and the associated costs and penalties

What is a PCI DSS assessment

Meeting the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a contractual commitment between organisations that store, process and/or transit payment card data and their acquiring bank or clients.

While compliance with the standard reduces the risk of cardholder data breaches and the associated fines and non-compliance penalties, achieving compliance can be time consuming and very costly.

Our method

We believe simplicity and efficiency is key to a successful assessment.

We begin by meticulously planning your PCI DSS assessment and seek to understand your organisation’s unique technical environment, scope and requirements.

We’ll work with you and your teams to deliver a detailed audit schedule.

Our expert Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) will work with you and your control owners to capture, review and validate your audit evidence.

All assessments are wrapped up with a review session to explore any findings and areas for improvement.

On completion of the assessment, you’ll receive your Report on Compliance (ROC) or Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and Attestation of Compliance (AOC).

We value what our customers think of us

Blackfoot are authentic, hard-working, flexible and committed. Finding a partner who has our best interests at heart, one who tries to find solutions that work for us as a customer is like gold-dust. I now consider Blackfoot as part of my trusted partner network for any future projects.

"As our business has expanded so quickly, we have had to learn and implement new policies, processes, controls internally and externally, upskill staff and manage 3rd parties differently, it’s been a heck of a learning curve. During the onboarding and kick off meetings the support exceeded what I was expecting. The support from Blackfoot was amazing."

I was very impressed with your project managers persistence and attention to detail. She clearly understood the technical side of the testing and was very patient and polite when chasing up due to slow / delayed responses on our side. Overall, the approach gave me confidence that the testing was being planned carefully and that Blackfoot were helping us get the best out of the plan.

"I’m pleased to have seen the account progress, I know your consultants have dedicated a lot of time to the project and I’m excited to report back to their transformation director in the new year around their latest level of data security and privacy maturity based on the investment they have made"

“ I would like to add my thanks as in previous years you have really supported us and helped us to renew our certification and the entire process has been smooth and painless, we are most grateful."
