PCI DSS Compliance Roadmap | What You Need to Know
July 9, 2009
A PCI DSS Compliance Roadmap should consist of a number of predefined phases for helping ensure your organization (be it a merchant or a service provider) is able to become PCI DSS compliant in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
With that said, listed below are the three main phases that encompass your PCI DSS Compliance Roadmap:
- Phase I: PCI DSS Readiness Assessment
- Phase II: Remediation & Implementation for PCI DSS
- Phase III: Assessment & Reporting for PCI DSS
To learn more about these three (3) phases, visit pciassessment.org, an informative and in-depth website developed by a leading Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) consulting firm, NDB Advisory.
Generally speaking, this roadmap is for Level I Merchants and Service Providers who have to undergo and actual on-site assessment by a PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) as approved by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
