PCI DSS Internal Audit – Cybervault – CY1001

Description

PCI DSS Internal Audit Services

By Cybervault – Qualified & Independent Auditors

Full Service Description

Organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data are exposed to significant cybersecurity and compliance risks. Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is essential to protect sensitive payment information, reduce the risk of data breaches, and maintain trust with customers and payment ecosystem partners.

Cybervault provides independent PCI DSS Internal Audit services through the Make Audit Easy platform, enabling organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of PCI DSS controls within their Cardholder Data Environment (CDE).

Our audit follows a risk-based and controls-focused approach, assessing governance frameworks, policies, technical safeguards, operational processes, and third-party dependencies in alignment with applicable PCI DSS requirements. The assessment covers both technical and procedural controls to ensure sustainable and measurable compliance.

The engagement delivers clear insights into compliance gaps, control weaknesses, and payment security risks, along with practical and prioritized recommendations to strengthen cardholder data protection and improve audit readiness.
