Case Study: PCI DSS v4.0 audit and remediation report

A hosting customer needed to meet PCI DSS v4.0 standards in order to be able to merge and migrate a recent acqusition into their datacentre. Towers Associates team scanned and interviewed key members within the organisation which allowed us to benchmark against the correct controls.

This provided a clear, concise view of areas that needed attention with clear rememdiation steps against each failure.

The customer achieved full PCI DSS compliance which enabled a smooth transition of merging products, services and user groups, which the Towers Associates team executed for the customer under a separate engagement.
