Controls Advisor, LLC

Is your business utilizing credit card payment methods for its customers, but you are not sure if  PCI compliance is required?  To avoid fines and legal action, business must be aware that regulators, at least annually, require eligible businesses using credit card information to complete a documented self-assessment and management assertion, a letter from business management. 

Controls Advisor can help:

• determine if PCI compliance is required for your business,
• conduct a preliminary review to ensure you will meet compliance criteria,
• answer your PCI compliance surveys for you,
• draft your management assertion letter, ready for your confirmation and signature. 

Complete our pre-determination survey to get started.

Further, if we find problems during the preliminary review of your PCI processes, Controls Advisor can help you repair your gaps before your PCI survey is due... helping you issue a clean survey and management assertion.

The method a businesses uses to collect, transmit, and store credit card information determines which of the 4 categories of PCI compliance they are in and which type of survey they must compete. Some methods are exempt from PCI compliance, such as simple electronic credit card "swipe" machines, connected directly to credit card processing services, and not storing credit card data in your business' computers.

Click to access the attached PCI pre-determination survey, which can help you determine if your business is a candidate for PCI compliance and which category you fall into.   Our survey is free and can be completed within 10 to 15 minutes. 

Then, Controls Advisor can help ensure you answer the correct PCI compliance questionnaire and can help you complete your questionnaire and associated management assertion letter.
