PCI DSS Gap Analysis
Our PCI DSS Gap Analysis will evaluate your current level of compliance, including an examination of all aspects of your cardholder environment. This “pre-assessment” gives us a picture of your existing strengths and weaknesses and can help reduce the scope and cost of your final PCI DSS Assessment.

PCI DSS Gap Analysis: Review Phase
This review covers all 12 PCI DSS Requirements and serves as a baseline for subsequent gap analyses. This phase also allows us to identify the key controls we’ll need to further test your cardholder environment. During the review phase, our team of specialists will perform a full review of your company’s documentation with regard to:
- Recent (or planned) website changes and their potential impact on current PCI DSS compliance.
- Overall system design, including key interface definitions and designs.
- System and infrastructure monitoring.
- General security information.
- IT infrastructure, including network engineering, infrastructure automation and host and operating system engineering.
- Partner with your organization to identify stakeholders and project participants through meetings and review of documentation.
- Provide feedback to the designated representative regarding strengths and gaps.
- Conduct in-depth interviews with Functional Component-designated representatives.
Current-State Readiness Review Phase

Our experts conduct an in-depth analysis of your overall control environment and the specific technical controls within it. We gather all relevant information on your system designs, deployment documentation, procedures, and standards.
Identify Gaps
The goal of this phase is to find out exactly where and how your environment falls out of line with PCI DSS compliance requirements.
Best Practices
Every aspect of your cardholder environment will be critically examined and compared to leading industry security practices.
