How the Desk helps

The PCI DSS programme, run on the Compliance Desk.

Each step below is shipped: the template import in Compliance Studio, and workflows that run over the documents you choose, record their sources and hold for approval before export.

The twelve requirements as controls

Import the requirement set from the template and track the status and owner of each control.

Policies reviewed against the requirements

Run Review controls over your security policies and procedures. The run records every document it read; a control memo names the requirements with gaps.

Evidence for the assessment

Evidence is held per requirement with its status. Find missing evidence and Prepare audit checklist run over the evidence documents you select, exported once approved.

Next step

Start from the PCI DSS template on your own files.

Bring the policies you have and the last audit's request list. We will import the template, run the workflows with you and hand back the controls, the evidence on file and each run's sources.
