We have taken what we’ve learned about building strong security programs and applied it to industry standards. We start by learning about your organization and current security practices, identify where the gaps are, and guide your organization towards better security practices. Doing so will simultaneously ensure you comply with any requirements you may face.
While we offer many services relevant to compliance preparation, they may not all be appropriate for your business needs. We’ll work with you to understand your security goals that are aligned to your industry and provide the services that help you achieve them.
Secure Shield provides the expertise necessary to review and advise organizations on PCI DSS compliance. If your organization stores, process, transmits or accepts credit card and/or PII information, then you need some level of PCI compliance. We can help your organization define your PCI environment, determine compliance gaps, and provide necessary attestations of compliance.
Gap assessments are conducted with regulatory requirements in mind. We’ll take a look at where your security program is relative to the requirements, and then provide you with the appropriate adjustments needed for you to become compliant.
