Outcomes

What we deliver

Shrink scope first
Smaller CDE means fewer controls. We remove systems that don’t need card data anywhere near them.

Default-deny rules
Only allow what payments require. Everything else is blocked and logged. No flat networks.

Least privilege
Clear roles, time-bound vendor access, MFA for remote/admin, and proof of who did what.

Evidence as you go
We collect screenshots/exports while fixing things so the audit isn’t a scramble later.

Day 1

Discovery

Scope, systems, vendors, pain points.

Day 2

Deep Dive

Flows, configs, access, logging, scans.

Day 3

Plan

Remediation steps, owners, windows.

Day 4

Execute

Implement safely; capture evidence.

Day 5

Stabilize

Validate controls, finalize workbook.

We passed last year. Why change now?

PCI DSS 4.0 raises the bar. We adapt your controls to the new requirements and reduce scope so there’s less to maintain.

Will segmentation break vendor systems?

We coordinate vendor access, allow only required ports, and test in a maintenance window with rollback ready.

How do you handle remote access and third parties?

MFA, jump hosts or PAM, time-boxed accounts, and logging. You get proof of who connected and why.

Do you work with our QSA?

Yes. We align early, share the plan, and provide evidence in the format they expect. No surprises at assessment time.

What do you need from us to start?

One scoping call and read-only access to configs/portals. We drive the plan with minimal disruption to operations.
