	Any Level 1, 2 or 3 merchant that processes a significant level of transactions and needs to understand the business processes and data storage issues across their entire enterprise.
	Any company that wants to pro-actively manage their credit card data processing and storage issues.

What is PCI DSS Compliance Strategy?

The scope of our PCI DSS Compliance Services includes a thorough documentation of all business processes that utilize credit card data, identify all areas of data use and storage and interviews with key stakeholders. Our QSA-certified auditor and Senior Partner will review all the findings and prepare a recommended strategy that will include compliance with PCI DSS Standard Version 1.1

The PCI DSS Compliance Strategy will overlay the company’s business strategy with the 6 control areas of PCI DSS Standard Version 1.1:

	Build and Maintain a Secure Network		Protect Cardholder Data
	Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program		Implement Strong Access Control Measures
	Regularly Monitor and Test Networks		Maintain an Information Security Policy

PCI DSS Compliance Strategy Engagement Process and Deliverables

After an initial call, the Arsenal Security Group Senior Partner will prepare a statement of work within 2 days and we normally can begin an engagement within two weeks. During the engagement we will use interviews, questionnaires, physical tours and technical tools to develop our assessment. We will use a QSA-certified auditor in tandem with our QSA-certified Senior Partner to complete an engagement. We will provide an executive summary, a detailed report with all of our findings, recommendations and a final on-site presentation. Our engagement is not complete until all of our deliverables have been reviewed and accepted by our client.
