What is PCI DSS Risk Assessment?
PCI DSS Risk Assessment is the process of identifying threats and vulnerabilities that could compromise cardholder data security. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires businesses to conduct an annual PCI Compliance Risk Assessment to detect and mitigate security risks within their Cardholder Data Environment (CDE).
Under PCI DSS Requirement 12.1.2, organizations must perform a yearly risk assessment to evaluate potential threats and vulnerabilities that could impact their operations.
Our PCI Risk Assessment services help businesses proactively identify, prioritize, and address security risks within their CDE. Security risks are constantly evolving. By following PCI Risk Assessment guidelines, we detect existing security weaknesses and strengthen your defenses against future threats, ensuring continuous PCI compliance.
