Organizations that store, process, or transmit payment card data are expected to meet PCI DSS requirements. Regents & Park helps organizations understand PCI DSS scope, identify readiness gaps, prepare documentation, coordinate remediation, and work with qualified PCI stakeholders as needed.
PCI DSS applies to organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data, as well as certain service providers that can affect cardholder data security. Compliance obligations can vary based on payment flows, transaction volume, acquiring bank requirements, service provider relationships, technology architecture, and the type of PCI validation required.
A PCI gap can create business, contractual, operational, and reputational risk, especially when payment systems, third-party providers, or cardholder data environments are not clearly understood or documented.
Regents & Park can support PCI DSS readiness activities such as:
QSA readiness and evidence preparation
Post-incident coordination and remediation support
ASV scan coordination and remediation tracking
Regents & Park helps organizations plan and prepare for PCI DSS v4.0.1 readiness by reviewing payment flows, identifying cardholder data environments, evaluating control gaps, supporting remediation planning, and preparing documentation for internal stakeholders, acquiring banks, QSAs, ASVs, and other PCI stakeholders.
We can help evaluate scope reduction opportunities, compensating control considerations, remediation priorities, and common PCI pitfalls. Where formal validation is required, we can help prepare evidence and coordinate with the appropriate qualified PCI assessor or scanning vendor.
Support may include:
PCI DSS readiness assessments and gap reviews
Quarterly ASV scan coordination and remediation support
Penetration test planning, evidence review, and remediation tracking
Remediation planning, ownership tracking, and executive reporting
Even organizations with lower transaction volume may have complex PCI obligations if they operate payment systems, store cardholder data, manage point-of-sale environments, support e-commerce payment flows, or rely on service providers that affect payment security. The right SAQ or validation approach depends on how cardholder data is stored, processed, transmitted, or could be impacted.
PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaires are validation tools used by eligible merchants and service providers to assess and report PCI DSS compliance. Regents & Park can help organizations review SAQ eligibility, gather evidence, identify gaps, and prepare remediation plans before submission.
Regents & Park helps organizations make PCI DSS readiness practical, scoped, documented, and aligned to business operations.
