Who is the service for?
Applying to virtually every organisation which accepts, transmits, processes or stores any cardholder data the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is aimed at securing the data for customer safety. The standard applies to any number of transactions of different sizes, whether electronically using a terminal either through a service provider, ecommerce website or manually using paper methods.
Because compliance requirements can vary it is the organisations responsibility to establish how they should comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, not the responsibility of the QSA. The bank associated with the organisation should be able to advise on the needs to achieve compliance following an assessment. It can be a complex business establishing the exact requirements so advice should be taken.
What is QSA?
A Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) is a person who has been certified by the PCI Security Standards Council, LLC to audit merchants for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance.
Why use an SRM QSA to achieve Compliance?
SRM holds the certification for undertaking this type of work from its laboratory in the North East. Whatever the nature of payment application in use, SRM has the experience to help you achieve compliance and register the necessary paperwork with the international standards body, the PCI SSC.
Achieving compliance is no longer just an annual project. New requirements are ensuring that organisations are monitoring their compliance on a continuous basis. So, is your QSA an expert that you can turn to throughout the year to ensure your organisation is doing all it can to comply with the regulations? Read more in our blog here.
