PCI DSS Compliance

If your company stores, processes, or transmits credit card data, PCI DSS compliance is not optional. Non-compliance means fines, loss of merchant privileges, and massive liability if a breach happens. But achieving compliance without paralyzing your engineering team is an art that most consultancies fail at.

My PCI DSS engagement starts with a scoping exercise to identify exactly which systems touch cardholder data. Most companies are surprised to learn how much of their architecture can be removed from PCI scope through tokenization, network segmentation, and data flow redesign. Scope reduction is where real compliance wins happen, and it is also where most consultancies do the least work.

From there, I work through the twelve PCI DSS requirements with your team: access control, encryption in transit and at rest, vulnerability management, continuous monitoring, security policies, and incident response. Every control gets documented, tested, and mapped to your existing infrastructure so audit time becomes a checkbox exercise instead of a fire drill.

With 30 years of experience in enterprise security and a hands-on approach to implementation, I deliver PCI compliance that your engineering team can actually maintain. Not a pile of paperwork that breaks the first time someone deploys a new feature, but a living program your team owns.
