PCI DSS non-compliance and post-breach QSA support

Expert QSA support to help you navigate the PCI DSS requirements following a breach or notification of non-compliance.

If you've experienced a payment card data breach, or your acquiring bank has told you to appoint a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), Securious can help you understand what needs to happen next.

Our QSAs can help you establish your current PCI DSS position, address any remaining compliance gaps and complete the assessment and validation required to demonstrate compliance again.

What our PCI clients say about Securious

"It’s been a pleasure working with Securious on our PCI compliance over the last few years. A longstanding relationship with a PCI QSAC that really understands our organisation, facilitates the collaboration of different departments and helps identify where each responsibility sits makes the process of maintaining compliance so much easier"

PCI QSA support through the post-breach process

Following a breach, you may be dealing with investigation findings, remediation work, requests from your acquiring bank and deadlines for additional PCI DSS validation. We can step in at any stage to help you navigate the process and provide a clear route forward.

Our post-breach PCI DSS support can include:

  • Reviewing the requirements set by your acquiring bank
  • Reviewing PFI or incident investigation findings
  • Assessing your current PCI DSS position
  • Identifying and prioritising remaining compliance gaps
  • Supporting your teams as remediation is completed
  • Preparing the evidence required for additional PCI DSS validation
  • Completing a QSA-led PCI DSS assessment where required
  • Supporting you through to completion of the post-breach compliance process

Support tailored to where you are in the process

Every post-breach situation is different. You may have just received instructions from your acquiring bank, be working through the findings of a forensic investigation, or already have remediation underway.

We'll start with what you've been asked to do and where you are now, then establish the support you need. That might mean helping you understand and prioritise the PCI DSS work required, supporting your existing teams through remediation, or carrying out the QSA-led assessment your acquiring bank has requested.

If you've specifically been told to appoint a QSA, let us know when you get in touch, along with any deadlines you've been given.
