PCI DSS Certification in Ho Chi Minh City

Protection from cyber threats and data breaches: PCI DSS enforces secure encryption, restricted access, vulnerability scans, and regular security testing to minimize breach risk.

Compliance with banking and card network mandates: Required by Visa, Mastercard, and acquiring banks for any organization storing, processing, or transmitting cardholder data.

Improved customer trust and brand reputation: Certification proves to clients, vendors, and regulators that your systems are built to prevent fraud and safeguard payment data.

Business resilience and operational continuity: PCI controls help ensure that systems remain protected and operational even under cyber threats or compliance audits.

Delivery & Mobility Platforms: Enable secure mobile point-of-sale (POS) systems and in-app payment processing for real-time transactions.

Secure Network Configuration & Firewalls: Implementing and maintaining strong perimeter defenses to protect payment systems.

Encryption of Stored Cardholder Data (CHD): Ensuring sensitive cardholder information is encrypted at rest using industry-accepted algorithms.

Encrypted Transmission Over Open/Public Networks: Protecting CHD in transit across internet-facing systems and wireless networks.

Access Control Based on Business Need-to-Know: Restricting data access to only authorized personnel through roles, passwords, and authentication controls.

Anti-Malware, Security Patching & System Hardening: Keeping systems secure through regular updates, anti-virus, and configuration management.

Activity Monitoring & Audit Logging: Tracking all access to network resources and CHD for accountability and incident response.

Regular Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Scanning: Identifying and fixing security weaknesses before attackers exploit them.

Formalized Information Security Policies: Establishing and maintaining documented security practices that guide compliance and governance.

Scoping & Gap Analysis: We identify all systems, networks, and processes that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. A detailed gap analysis is then conducted to assess current security posture against PCI DSS v4.0 controls.

Remediation Roadmap: Based on the gap findings, we provide a customized action plan to close non-compliance issues. This includes technical upgrades, process refinement, and risk mitigation strategies tailored for your infrastructure.

Policy Documentation: Our consultants help you draft and implement essential security documentation—such as access control policies, encryption standards, incident response plans, and password policies—aligned with PCI DSS requirements.

Control Implementation Support: We assist your IT and security teams in deploying technical controls like web application firewalls (WAFs), data encryption, secure configurations, audit logging, and multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Testing & Evidence Preparation: Our experts guide internal testing including vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and log reviews. We also help compile audit evidence and maintain documentation for assessor review.

SAQ / QSA Audit Coordination: Whether you're eligible for a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or require a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) audit, we handle end-to-end coordination and submission, ensuring a smooth path to compliance certification.

Number of In-Scope Systems and Departments – The more servers, databases, POS systems, and business units involved, the higher the effort and cost.

Merchant Level or Service Provider Classification – Larger volume processors (Level 1) require annual QSA audits, while smaller merchants may qualify for SAQs (Self-Assessment Questionnaires).

Remediation Needs – Organizations with major gaps may require new firewalls, tokenization, encryption, or updated documentation—adding to implementation costs.

Audit Validation Type – Costs differ between SAQ validation and third-party audits conducted by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).

Security Maturity – Businesses already certified with ISO 27001 or SOC 2 may reduce the effort needed, lowering both cost and duration.
