Call PCI-QSA Charles Denyer for PCI DSS QSA consulting and auditing services for today’s complex and challenging compliance mandates for virtualization environments, cloud businesses and Software as a Service (SaaS) models. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) provisions are continuing to challenge organizations, both operationally and financially, so now’s the time to utilize the services of a proven and trusted organization, a firm with years of PCI DSS experience, and that’s NDB. With more and more companies moving to the “cloud” and using various virtualization platforms, now’s the time to start getting serious about designing, building, and implementing all the necessary controls, policies and procedures for ensuring compliance with the twelve (12) PCI DSS standards. Noted cyber security expert and PCI DSS specialist Charles Denyer can be reached at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 705, or via email at cdenyer@ndbcpa.com. NDB offers a complimentary PCI DSS Policy Packet for every client we work with.
From Requirement 1 to Requirement 12, there are numerous mandates for which virtualization, cloud, and SaaS models must adhere to, yet easier said than done as the PCI DSS requirements are written in a way that requires a thoughtful approach for ensuring compliance. Specifically, it means one must truly understand the stated PCI DSS provisions and what policies, procedures, and processes need to be in place. It’s also important to gain a thorough understanding of what responsibilities clients have themselves when it comes to PCI DSS compliance for their “own” environment. Challenging issues – no question about it – so trust the experts at NDB Advisory for providing top-notch information security advice and expert recommendations concerning virtualization, cloud businesses and SaaS models. NDB offers a complimentary PCI DSS Policy Packet for every client we work with.
What’s also important to note about PCI DSS compliance for today’s growing virtualized and cloud based environments is provisioning, hardening, securing, and locking-down all in-scope system components. Specifically, it’s about removing default account settings and insecure ports and protocols, establishing effective audit and logging trails, implementing correctly configured rules, and more. NDB has developed propriety provisioning and hardening forms and checklists for helping with such challenges, so call and speak with Charles Denyer to learn more. He can be reached at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 705, or via email at cdenyer@ndbcpa.com.
