Payment Card Industry (PCI)

Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is challenging, and many organisations require outside assistance to help them navigate the multiple steps and tasks along the way.

PCI compliance can be a complex and time-consuming process that stretches the expertise and availability of personnel. As a result, many organisations rely on third party firms for PCI compliance testing and auditing services. So selecting the best Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) is critical. The right QSA and ASV can help identity and address risks successfully, and provide a much-needed complement to your existing resources. 

Our Approach

Dell SecureWorks' PCI Compliance Solutions support your compliance needs at every stage, from building a PCI compliance plan to issuing a Report on Compliance (ROC). There are more than 200 individual requirements within the PCI DSS 2.0 guidelines, and Dell SecureWorks can advise you on all of them.

Dell SecureWorks' QSAs have a technical understanding across all areas of PCI compliance, an awareness of the current threat landscape, sector-specific knowledge and a practical view on how PCI compliance relates to real world concerns for your organisation.

As a QSA and ASV, Dell SecureWorks emphasises pragmatism and intent, while also considering your organisations business constraints. Dell SecureWorks can help you select the best solutions and compensating controls, working with you rather than against you.

Dell SecureWorks' PCI Compliance Solutions include:

• Card data identification and scope reduction
• Gap analysis and remediation plans
• Scanning and vulnerability testing
• Mock audits
• Report on Compliance (ROC)
• Management and monitoring

Dell SecureWorks has managed security, compliance and consulting projects with thousands of organisations globally, including one of the largest PCI compliance projects in Europe to date.

Beyond Compliance: Building a Solid Security Foundation

IT and business executives are realising that a strong security policy can give their organisations a competitive or operational advantage. By going beyond minimum compliance requirements and focusing on a broader, more complete foundation in security, organisations can not only respond to and mitigate potential data breaches and attacks, but also serve customers more efficiently to improve the bottom line.

This is Dell SecureWorks' philosophy, too. We advocate a "security approach to compliance" instead of a "compliance approach to security," because it's critical to have a strategy that's scalable, sustainable, and is backed by a corporate culture that values security throughout the organisation. A security approach to compliance can help reduce the risk of breach, data loss and potential damage to your brand reputation.  It can also help you manage your costs and resources.
