We know that trying to understand PCI DSS compliance might be a little bit intimidating. This is especially true for smaller business merchants. We are an industry leader when it comes to Information Security and compliance and we are here to help you simplify the process using PCI Assist.

What Is PCI Assist?

It will assist you in learning the best practices for your business and help you follow the important steps leading to your validation in PCI DSS compliance.

How PCI Assist Works:

We know that the process of PCI DSS certification can be quite complicated. This is why we provide you with a set of tools with the easy to use portal that will easily help walk you through the whole process.

• PCI Wizard will guide you through the self-assessment interview step-by-step to see how well you are working to manage and protect your customer's credit card and debt card information currently
• PCI Wizard will then use that information to begin filling out your PCI certification form, also known as the PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). You will be given the opportunity to review the information and then submit it when ready
• Certain merchants might also need to fill out and complete the "network vulnerability scan" which will help to ensure that their store or website is adequately safe from Internet hackers. Should this apply to you, will also walk you through the whole process as well
