Supportspread PCI Security Design

Supportspread security design services

Complying with PCI regulations in heterogeneous environments can be a complex and a very costly initiative. Implementing the correct solution to meet compliance requires a unique skill set of security professionals. Supportspread provide Security Solutions Architects to deliver a specific system to meet your organisations requirements.

Leveraging your existing IT infrastructure offers a simpler and cost-effective way to address the sections of the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) that matter most to IT managers - and without sacrificing manageability and productivity.

Supportspread provide PCI security designs based around three principal strategies:

• PCI log management
• PCI vulnerability management
• PCI file integrity monitoring

Analysing your PCI security

Supportspread can provide testing methodologies designed to identify all areas of:

• Operating system patch compliance
• Operating system vulnerability reporting
• Application security
• Wireless access point scanning
• Network vulnerability scanning
• QSA gap analysis

Supportspread Security Solutions Architects will utilise the optimal products sets to meet all compliance requirements to assist your organisation to become PCI Compliant.

Achieving compliance

The PCI DSS compliance design solutions can take anything from a day to many weeks, depending on what is uncovered by the QSA gap analysis reports and the self-assessment questionnaire.

Organizations that currently have a good level of information security are likely to be compliant a lot more quickly than those that don't.

QSAs carry out inspections of PCI DSS implementations and determine a recommendation of compliance to the various payment brands. Each individual payment brand will separately determine whether to accept the recommendation of compliance and whether a detailed review of the report of compliance and compensating controls is warranted.

Supportspread can bridge the technical gap further to the QSA analysis, our solutions architects can design the required security to meet your organisations requirements and budget.

The starting point for all organizations that need to comply is to download the Payment Card Industry Self-Assessment Questionnaire.
