ADVANTIO’S SOLUTION

The initial challenge was to set the groundwork that would lay the foundation for implementing PCI DSS compliance at all organization levels. Advantio worked in tandem with IFM Infomaster to efficiently plan and execute each step of the process.

With Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) platform being one of its offerings, IFM Infomaster felt it was crucial to include PCI DSS as part of its security arsenal.

Advantio’s’ Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) assisted IFM at every step of their PCI DSS compliance journey. The first step involved understanding the scope of compliance efforts required with a ‘Scope Analysis Review.’ Furthermore, a ‘Gap Analysis Review’ (GAR) helped us uncover any shortcomings related to the organization’s cybersecurity landscape. By identifying these shortcomings, Advantio put a cost-efficient remediation program into place.

After identifying the shortcomings, Advantio conducted a ‘Formal Assessment of Compliance’ to highlight and resolve all issues. IFM Infomaster was cooperative in each step of the process.

Advantio is proud to associate with IFM Infomaster, providing yearly validation demonstrating the organization’s continued commitment and adherence to PCI DSS.
