About Services Why A-LIGN Resources

Stay competitive and secure with PCI DSS compliance

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a widely accepted set of policies and procedures intended for organizations that handle credit, debit, and cash card transactions to ensure the protection of cardholders’ personal information.

Obtaining a PCI DSS Report on Compliance (ROC) and Attestation of Compliance (AOC) demonstrates your organization’s commitment to payment card data security and identifies the level of validation you have achieved.

The benefits of PCI DSS compliance:

  • Avoids costly fines associated with non-compliance, ranging from $5,000 – $10,000 monthly
  • Increases confidence and peace of mind for organizations, banks, and customers
  • Increases profits through new customer acquisition
  • Provides a competitive advantage that your organization has been validated by a Qualified Security Assessor Company

PCI DSS readiness assessment

We benchmark your current processes and controls against the PCI DSS requirements so you can implement the proper processes and policies prior to the on-site assessment.

On-site PCI DSS assessment

This on-site assessment includes comprehensive planning to prepare you for fieldwork and results in a ROC and AOC that validates your PCI DSS compliance.

We customize the SAQ selection based on your organization’s specific payment card processing and identify the appropriate compliance requirements for PCI DSS.
