# PCI DSS Compliance

> Cardholder-data security to PCI DSS v4.0.

If you store, process or transmit card data, PCI DSS applies. We scope your cardholder-data environment, run gap analysis to PCI DSS v4.0, remediate, and support SAQ or QSA-led assessment - including Level 1 for banks, fintechs and payment aggregators.

## Outcomes

- Cardholder-data environment scoping
- PCI DSS v4.0 gap analysis
- Segmentation and control remediation
- SAQ / QSA assessment support

## Process

01. **Scope** - Define and minimize the CDE.
02. **Assess** - Gap analysis to PCI DSS v4.0.
03. **Remediate** - Close gaps and validate segmentation.
04. **Validate** - Support SAQ or QSA-led assessment.

## Deliverables

- CDE scope document
- PCI DSS v4.0 gap analysis
- Remediation roadmap
- Assessment support

## Standards

PCI DSS v4.0, RBI (PA-PG), NPCI


## Overview

Any business that processes, stores, or transmits credit card data must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The release of PCI DSS v4.0 introduces stricter requirements for multi-factor authentication, cryptographic keys, and continuous monitoring.

We help fintechs, payment gateways, e-commerce brands, and merchants navigate PCI DSS v4.0 compliance. We scope your cardholder data environment (CDE) to minimize audit friction, perform gap analyses, implement required technical controls, and support you through the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or QSA-led Report on Compliance (RoC).


## What we cover

### CDE Boundary Scoping
Mapping data flows to identify and minimize systems in scope of cardholder data rules.

### PCI DSS v4.0 Gap Analysis
Evaluating current security configurations against the 12 primary PCI requirements.

### Network Segmentation Testing
Performing pentests to prove that non-CDE networks cannot access the CDE.

### MFA & Access Control Review
Verifying strict logical access and multi-factor authentication controls for all CDE access.

### ASV Vulnerability Scanning
Coordinating mandatory quarterly external scans with an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV).

### SAQ/QSA Assessment Support
Preparing the technical evidence and liaison required for final QSA sign-off.


## FAQ

**Do you handle Level 1?**
Yes - RBI-regulated banks, fintechs and payment aggregators typically need Level 1 PCI DSS, which we support end to end.
