Compliance Services

Compliance with PCI requirements can be a nightmare if it is not approached properly. Whether you are a processor, merchant or a payment application developer, SPIguard can help you become compliant and help you put in place certain processes that will help you maintain compliance.

SPIguard is Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) company, certified by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI-SSC). Our world class security consultants have a lot of experience performing PCI-DSS and PA-DSS assessments.

The SPIguard Advantage

  • Our Qualified Security Assessors understand that the requirements can be difficult to meet if you are not prepared. They will work with you and help find the most optimal solutions.
  • We try and minimize the impact of on-site assessments by doing all the preparation before we get on-site. Our QSAs will make a list of what can be done off-site and what needs to be done on-site. For example, the network architecture document can be reviewed off-site, but verifying that the network diagram matches the actual architecture requires the QSA to be on-site. Minimizing on-site time reduces your cost.
  • We identify the intent of each requirement, rather than look at each as a check box that needs to be checked. This will help keep you secure in the long run.
  • You will have access to our security consultants who can advise you on the optimal solutions for your environment.

SPIguard Web-Board – Document Management System

We use a custom developed web based document management system (web-board) to facilitate sharing and maintenance of documents. All relevant documents are uploaded to the web-board. Whenever there is activity on the web-board, an email notification is sent out to all concerned. Once the documentation is all finalized, they can be used for subsequent certifications.

The web-board itself uses state-of-the-art security with SSL/TLS and strict user controls. Only you and the QSA assigned to you will have access to your folder on the web-board. The web-board itself undergoes periodic penetration testing to ensure that there are no vulnerabilities.
