MIS CDS Has Become a PCI DSS QSA
July 2008 by Marc Jacob
MIS Corporate Defence Solutions (MIS CDS) is pleased to announce the company’s addition to the list of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Qualified Security Assessors (QSA). As the UK’s leading Security Services organisation this means you are guaranteed assurances for any audit work undertaken to meet your requirements under the PCI regulations. In addition, MIS CDS is the first senior Check Point, Juniper, Nokia and RSA vendor partner to attain PCI QSA status in the UK which gives you assurances that you are working with an organisation with expertise and real world experience working along side these and other compliant vendors.
PCI DSS is a set of standards that is mandatory for all organisations
that process debit and credit card payments. These requirements are
managed by PCI Co, a US-based organisation that oversees these
requirements and disseminates any changes regarding the regulations.
The requirements were developed to ensure that cardholder data is being
properly protected. These standards cover everything from making sure
organisations build and maintain secure networks, to having a
comprehensive information security policy in place to rigorously protect
cardholder information.
MIS CDS are pleased to offer our customers two services around PCI DSS.
MIS CDS’ PCI DSS consultants come from a technical background and can
offer you auditing services to ensure that your solution meets those
requirements as set out by PCI DSS and by working to very tightly
audited frameworks ensure that you are compliant at all times.
Additionally MIS CDS can offer Consultancy Services to assist in the
design and installation of solutions required to meet those requirements
as set out by the PCI DSS mandate.
MIS CDS can take clients from the first stage - actually identifying
where cardholder data flows and is stored throughout the organisation to
performing annual PCI DSS audits, and all points in between.
