Osprey begins by conducting an assessment of the organization's current security posture and practices related to handling payment card data. This includes performing a gap analysis to identify areas where the organization's practices deviate from the requirements of the PCI DSS.
Based on the assessment findings, Osprey helps the organization develop a compliance roadmap outlining the steps and actions needed to achieve compliance with the PCI DSS. This roadmap may include recommendations for policy development, process improvements, and technology enhancements.
Osprey assists organizations in developing and implementing security policies, procedures, and controls that align with the requirements of the PCI DSS. This includes policies related to access control, network security, data encryption, vulnerability management, and incident response.
Osprey helps organizations design and implement security architectures and controls to protect payment card data throughout its lifecycle. This may include implementing firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, encryption technologies, and secure authentication mechanisms to safeguard cardholder data.
Osprey advises organizations on implementing network segmentation and isolation strategies to minimize the scope of PCI DSS compliance requirements. This involves isolating payment card data from other network resources and implementing controls to restrict access to cardholder data based on need-to know principles.
Osprey conducts security testing and assessments to validate the effectiveness of security controls and identify vulnerabilities that could compromise payment card data. This includes performing vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and security audits to identify and remediate security weaknesses.
Osprey helps organizations develop incident response plans and procedures for responding to security incidents and breaches involving payment card data. This includes defining roles and responsibilities, establishing communication protocols, and implementing processes for detecting, containing, and mitigating security incidents.
Osprey assists organizations in managing third-party vendors and service providers that handle payment card data on their behalf. This includes conducting due diligence assessments, contract reviews, and oversight to ensure that vendors comply with PCI DSS requirements and protect cardholder data.
Osprey provides security awareness training and education to employees, contractors, and stakeholders to raise awareness of security risks and best practices related to handling payment card data. This includes training on phishing awareness, password security, data protection, and incident reporting.
Osprey helps organizations establish processes for monitoring compliance with the PCI DSS on an ongoing basis. This includes implementing logging and monitoring solutions, conducting periodic security assessments, and preparing compliance reports for submission to payment card brands and regulatory authorities.
