existing processes based on the requirements of PCI DSS v4.0 usually requires a well thought-out implementation project. This is how we support you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overview of the new requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We present the new requirements for your company in an initial workshop. Together, we create an overview of the PCI DSS v4.0 requirements relevant to you and present known challenges and best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evaluate requirements for your company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of a gap analysis, we review all certification-relevant IT systems, existing documentation and current processes for their compliance with PCI DSS v4.0. Identified deviations are documented in the form of a catalog of measures and discussed with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plan &amp; implement measures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do not leave you alone after the gap analysis. Our auditors will work with you to create an individual roadmap. Based on the results of your gap analysis, we will develop concrete packages of measures with corresponding tickets, and we will closely support you in their implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Certification against PCI DSS v4.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are ready. After successful implementation, we will accompany you, as usual, as your auditor in confirming your compliance with PCI DSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have questions or need support?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Benedikt-Kruemmel_PPT-Kontakt-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35914\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Benedikt Kr\u00fcmmel<\/strong><br>usd Technical Sales Consultant,<br>PCI Professional<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Our PCI experts will guide you to your certification and support you in the transition to PCI DSS v4.0. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/en\/contact-form-pci\/\">Contact us<\/a>, we will be happy to help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 31, 2022, the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) published version 4.0 of PCI DSS - the most comprehensive update of the security standard for credit card data ever.
