PCI DSS Readiness

PCI DSS governs how you protect cardholder data. The single biggest lever is scope reduction — minimising where cardholder data lives — followed by engineering the controls that protect what remains. StackWeaver does both, and captures the evidence continuously.

Scope first

Every system that touches cardholder data is in scope, and scope drives cost. The first work is architectural: reduce the cardholder data environment through tokenisation, segmentation, and minimisation, so fewer systems carry PCI obligations.

Engineer the remaining controls

• Access control and strong authentication to the cardholder data environment.
• Encryption in transit and at rest, enforced and evidenced.
• Logging and monitoring (Requirements 10–11) as retained, source-captured evidence.
• Change and vulnerability management wired into the pipeline.

Continuous, mapped evidence

PCI DSS shares most of its control surface with SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Built on the Evidence Architecture with control mapping, PCI evidence is largely evidence you already maintain — kept continuous so your annual assessment is verification, not reconstruction.

Your next step

Start with the TEMM assessment to see your current control maturity, or book an assessment and we will scope the cardholder data environment and show the fastest path to a reduced-scope, evidence-backed assessment.
