Review Project Scope

The first step is to initiate a kick-off that will include reviewing the MegaplanIT PCI Assessment Process, determine your scope and explain what documents will need to be collected. Our goal is to save you time so that your normal day workload will not be impeded on while you are in the assessment process.

Policy & Procedure Collection, Analysis, and Control Validation

At the beginning of this process, a MegaplanIT QSA will create an assessment folder specifically for your organization, which will be housed on our secure, centralized server. This folder will contain all the documents received during the PCI assessment process.

PCI DSS Gap Analysis – Pre Assessment

A MegaplanIT consultant will become and extention of your team, both on- and off-site to assess and control risks related to your unique environment. MegaplanIT will identify the specific PCI DSS regulations that apply to your business and focus on taking the proper steps needed to bring your cardholder environment into compliance. This “Pre-Assessment” gives us a picture of your existing strengths and weakness and can help reduce the scope and cost of your final PCI DSS Assessment

On-Site Validation & Draft Report On Compliance

The completion of the Validation and Draft Report on Compliance Requires that the QSA visits your organization’s location to validate all the existing controls. THis will be accomplished by sampling live systems, databases, network devices, and applications that were determined to be in-scope for PCI Compliance. A MegaplanIT QSA will also collect follow-up evidence such as sample reports and/or captured screen prints, which will validate that security controls are in place and compliant with PCI Requirements.

Quality Assurance Program & Delivery of Final Report

Before submitting any reports to you the QSA must first pass their work through our quality assurance program. This requires a detailed review and validation of all the items to find within the report on compliance and attestation of compliance. If there or any discovered errors or unclear remarks the QA representative will ensure that there is a proper amount of detail that is contained in the documents as governed by the PCI council.

The documents required to pass through the megaplanit:

PCI assessment tracking tool (used to gather notes)

Draft report on compliance

attestation of compliance

Internal and external scan results

Internal and external penetration testing results

Upon completion of the QA process, the managing consultant and QSA will forward hard and soft copies of the final PCI report on compliance to your organization’s representative. With these files in hand Megaplanit, senior gateway manager and principal compliance consultant will schedule a remote call with your representative to review any additional comments within the final PCI report on compliance. To further improve on The client and assessor relationship the MegaplanIT team will hear any feedback that your representative may have.

Key Benefits

Red Team Engagement

Simulated attacks based on real-world adversary behavior provide a comprehensive evaluation of your environment’s ability to withstand current threats and adapt to new, evolving tactics. This ensures your security posture remains resilient against today’s advanced threat landscape—not just legacy attack patterns.

Red team operations expose weaknesses in monitoring, detection, and alerting that may go unnoticed during traditional assessments. By challenging assumed security coverage, organizations gain clarity on where malicious activity can slip through undetected, helping prioritize improvements in threat detection and SOC workflows.

Validate whether systems, applications, and network environments are properly configured to resist intrusion and abuse. This includes confirming access controls, segmentation, encryption, and hardening measures are implemented and functioning as intended—reducing the attack surface and strengthening your security baseline.

Red team engagements demonstrate, in concrete terms, how different threat actors could move through your environment—what they can access, where they might be detected, and how quickly they could be stopped. This helps security teams visualize potential breach paths and assess the effectiveness of incident response processes.

Rather than relying on assumptions about security tools and controls, red teaming offers measurable insight into what’s truly working and what isn’t. You’ll know which controls are detecting, preventing, or delaying attackers—and which are being bypassed entirely—enabling smarter investments and adjustments.
