PCI DSS Gap Analysis

Whenever we have asked our QSA and account manager whether additional work is required outside of the annual cycle, there has never been a hard sell of any of URM’s services, and instead offer advice based on our compliance requirements and business needs.

If you are looking to assess and measure your current cardholder processing activities and practices against the Standard, URM can assist by delivering a PCI DSS gap analysis.  This is often the first step in any PCI DSS project and provides a roadmap for PCI DSS certification.  This PCI DSS service typically involves one of URM’s Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) spending time on site with the key individuals responsible for the PCI DSS programme, e.g., those involved in network administration and cardholder systems, as well as those involved in developing policies and processes/procedures.

Our URM QSA always consults with the aim of making compliance as straightforward as possible, and pointed us towards a way of significantly minimising and streamlining our assessment scope that neither we nor our previous PCI DSS consultancy provider had considered.

The whole gap analysis process was very informative for all departments of the business. Our URM consultant was great at explaining the SOC2 audit process and what evidence may be required for each area. As a business, it has really assisted us in our implementation strategy and improving our compliance programme as a whole.
