How it works

Certification Process Details

01

Planning

The newly released PCI DSS 4.0 includes 12 core requirements focusing on areas like encryption, access control, monitoring, and vulnerability management. Athenisec will assess your application and system design to determine applicability and control mapping.

02

Implement Required Controls

Address identified gaps by implementing or updating security controls. This might include strengthening encryption, improving network segmentation, enhancing access management, or updating policies and procedures. Athenisec engineers develop best-practices to meet these requirements with the lowest impact on your organization.

03

Self-Assessment or External Audit

Depending on your merchant level, you'll either complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or undergo a formal audit by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). The QSA reviews your systems, tests controls, and verifies compliance with PCI DSS 4.0 requirements.

04

Submit Documentation and Attestation

After the audit or self-assessment, submit the necessary documentation, including the Report on Compliance (ROC) or SAQ, along with an Attestation of Compliance (AOC) to your clients or payment partners.

05

Maintenance

PCI DSS 4.0 emphasizes continuous compliance. Regularly monitor your systems, perform vulnerability scans, and ensure ongoing staff training to maintain compliance and prepare for annual re-assessments.
