Whether you're facing your first audit, cleaning up after a failed scan, or building compliance into a growing operation — we have a structured service for where you are right now.
How we're different: Most compliance consultants hand you a checklist and leave you to figure out the gaps. Operatiqs works alongside you — explaining what each requirement means in plain English, reviewing your environment, and helping you build toward compliance step by step.
The starting point for every engagement. We review your cardholder data environment (CDE), map data flows, evaluate your current controls against PCI DSS requirements, and produce a prioritized gap report in plain English.
What you get: A clear picture of where you stand, what gaps need attention before an audit, and a realistic timeline for addressing them — before your QSA or payment processor asks.
Read Full Service DetailsPCI DSS requires quarterly internal and external vulnerability scans, and external scans must be conducted by a PCI SSC-approved Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). We help you understand what those scan requirements mean, support your scanning operations, and translate findings into actionable priorities.
What you get: Scan result review and plain-English findings analysis, prioritized remediation guidance, and help preparing scan evidence for your compliance documentation.
Read Full Service DetailsOnce gaps are identified, the hard question is: what do you fix first, and what do you do when a fix isn't immediately feasible? We build realistic remediation plans that account for your resources, timeline, and risk tolerance — including compensating control strategies where full remediation isn't immediately possible.
What you get: A prioritized remediation roadmap, documentation support, and guidance on compensating controls that satisfy PCI DSS requirements when a full fix is out of reach.
Read Full Service DetailsMost small and mid-sized businesses validate PCI DSS compliance using a Self-Assessment Questionnaire rather than a formal QSA audit. Choosing the wrong SAQ, or completing it inaccurately, creates real compliance risk. We help you identify the correct SAQ type for your environment and complete it with confidence.
What you get: SAQ type determination based on your actual environment, line-by-line completion guidance, and a review of your responses before submission.
Read Full Service DetailsPCI DSS compliance is not a one-time project — it's an annual cycle. Many businesses achieve compliance in year one, then let their posture slip before the next assessment. We offer ongoing support to keep your controls current, support quarterly scan cycles, and prepare you for annual re-validation.
What you get: Quarterly scan oversight, policy review support, annual re-assessment coordination, and a standing resource when compliance questions come up during the year.
