PCI-DSS Compliance Made Simple
If you’re in fintech or e-commerce, chances are you’re paying significant fees to external providers to manage your PCI-DSS compliance. These costs often get passed on to your customers, inflating prices unnecessarily. The reason? Many businesses believe PCI-DSS compliance is too complex and expensive to achieve on their own.
At Indeo Solutions, we’ve discovered a smarter way. Our Turnkey PCI-DSS Environment takes the complexity out of compliance, providing you with an affordable, stable, and fully compliant solution that you own.
The Problem with Outsourcing PCI-DSS
- Perceived Complexity: The PCI-DSS standard is an 800-page document, intimidating even to experienced teams.
- High Costs: Outsourcing often leads to significant recurring fees that eat into your margins.
- Limited Functionality: External vendors dictate what you can do through restrictive SDKs and APIs, limiting innovation for your customers.
- Lack of Evolution: Many providers have no incentive to improve their offerings, leaving you stuck with outdated functionality.
But here’s the truth: most PCI-DSS environments are not as complex or expensive to build as you think.
Our Solution: Your Own PCI-DSS Environment
We’ve developed a proven framework that allows you to build, run, and maintain your own PCI-DSS compliant environment in AWS. By leveraging AWS services that are already PCI-DSS compliant, we create a solution that’s:
- Cost-Effective: Significantly lower than outsourcing fees.
- Flexible: Fully under your control with no restrictions from external providers.
- Reliable: Proven success with clients achieving multiple consecutive years of compliance without major issues.
How It Works
Step 1: Confidentiality First
We start by signing NDAs to ensure all discussions and data remain secure.
Step 2: Discovery and Planning
We conduct interviews with key stakeholders in HR, IT, Security, and Compliance to understand your current state and requirements.
Step 3: Documentation Assistance
We guide you through filling out the PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and Attestation of Compliance (AoC) and provide ready-made templates to save you weeks of effort.
Step 4: Auditor Selection
We help you select a trusted Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) to validate your compliance.
Step 5: Building Your Environment
We deploy a fully PCI-DSS compliant environment in your AWS accounts, including:
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates.
- Pre-built application APIs for payment processing.
- Secure data storage solutions.
If you’re new to AWS, we assist in setting up and configuring your account.
Step 6: Supporting the Audit
We manage communication with your QSA, simplifying technical language and ensuring all questions are answered clearly.
Step 7: Achieving Compliance
Once the audit is complete, you’ll receive your Report on Compliance (RoC), allowing you to operate your own PCI-DSS environment and securely handle customer payment data.
Step 8: Continuous Maintenance
PCI-DSS compliance doesn’t stop at the audit. We handle the ongoing processes, checks, and reporting required to maintain your compliance, so you can focus on your business.
Step 9: Annual Audits Made Easy
Each year, we repeat the process to ensure your compliance remains intact.
