NDB provides QSA services to both merchants and service providers in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area, including Baltimore, Northern Virginia, and all other associated regions. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) are comprehensive, complex, and often quite challenging, and it’s why businesses need expert support and guidance, which NDB provides. Call and speak directly with senior cybersecurity expert Charles Denyer at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 705 today, or email him at cdenyer@ndbcpa.com.
NDB’s PCI-DSS services for Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Northern Virginia businesses include the following:
1. Readiness Assessments: Unearthing the “who, what, when, where, and why” of PCI DSS compliance begins by conducting a comprehensive readiness assessment against all twelve (12) of the PCI DSS mandates. A readiness assessment is not just another cost added to a PCI DSS engagement – not at all – it’s an incredibly useful and helpful exercise for helping assess and evaluate one’s internal policies, procedures, and processes relating to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) mandates. More specifically, a PCI DSS readiness assessment helps Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Northern Virginia merchants and service providers properly plan for a successful PCI assessment from day one.
2. Level 1 Onsite Audits: NDB offers comprehensive Level 1 onsite assessments issued by a Payment Card Industry Qualified Security Assessor (PCI-QSA), as licensed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) in Wakefield, MA. Level 1 onsite assessments “can” be incredibly time-consuming and expensive, but not with NDB, so contact senior cybersecurity expert Charles Denyer at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 705 today, or email him at cdenyer@ndbcpa.com.
3. Policy and Procedure Writing: So what’s one of the most demanding, expensive, and time-consuming aspects of complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS)? It’s authoring all the mandated policies and procedures, which can be incredibly challenging to organizations who lack the expertise and man-power for such an exercise. Enter NDB and our PCI policy templates and you’ve just saved thousands of dollars and hundreds of operational man-hours.
4. Risk Assessments: Assessing risk – while a specific mandate within Requirement 12 of the PCI DSS provisions – is also a best practice every merchant and service provider should be conducting on an annual basis. NDB provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use risk assessment template program for helping businesses assess organizational and information security risk, along with other relevant risk elements.
5. Security Awareness Training: Yet another rigid requirement for compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), PCI security awareness training is also a best practice that just makes sense. After all, what’s the very best defense against today’s growing cybersecurity threats and challenges – it’s properly trained, well-educated, and knowledgeable employees. Security awareness training is relatively inexpensive, and provides an incredible bang for the buck in terms of ROI for any business. NDB offers an easy-to-use, high-quality security awareness training packet for helping effectively educate your entire employee base, giving them the confidence they need in helping protect critical organizational assets from theft and misappropriation.
6. Penetration Testing: NDB also offers comprehensive penetration testing services for clients in and throughout the Washington DC, Virginia, Baltimore metropolitan area, so call and speak with senior cybersecurity expert Charles Denyer at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 705 today, or email him at cdenyer@ndbcpa.com. PCI DSS compliance is here to stay, so it’s time to get serious about getting certified on an annual basis.
