OUR SERVICE
Odyssey Compliance Audit services, involve the execution of official compliance assessments for the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and SWIFT CSCF (SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework) industry standards.
If your organization handles payment card transactions or stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data, you are likely subject to PCI DSS compliance assessments. Whether you’re a retailer, an online business, a financial institution, or a third-party service provider, compliance with PCI DSS is essential. These periodic assessments ensure that your organization maintains the necessary security measures to protect sensitive cardholder data and prevent potential breaches. Meeting these standards not only fulfills the standard’s obligations, but also builds trust among your customers, partners, and stakeholders in regard to your security practices when handling payment card information.
Similarly, if your organization is involved in financial transactions and utilizes the SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) network for interbank communication and messaging, you are likely subject to SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF) audits. SWIFT CSCF compliance assessments are designed to ensure that your organization adheres to the established security controls framework, protecting the integrity and confidentiality of financial messages. Compliance with SWIFT CSCF is crucial for maintaining the security and trustworthiness of global financial transactions facilitated through the SWIFT network.
OUR APPROACH
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)
Odyssey maintains a team of Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs), duly certified by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) for more than a decade.
As such, they have vast experience in performing PCI DSS assessments for clients both in Europe and the EMEA regions.
During a PCI DSS compliance assessment our QSA assessors carry out a detailed examination of your organization’s handling and protection of payment card holder data. They assess your systems, processes, and controls to ensure they meet the stringent security requirements outlined by PCI-DSS.
Our aim is to assess and validate your compliance, identifying any vulnerabilities or non-conformities. At the conclusion of the assessment, we issue a well-structured and evidence supported PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance (AoC) and/or Report on Compliance (RoC) / Self Attestation Questionnaire (SAQ).
Additionally, to fulfill your obligations under the PCI DSS, regarding the execution of periodic ASV scans, our knowledgeable and highly experienced Ethical Hackers use an ASV certified platform to perform the required vulnerability scans on your internet facing environments in order to identify security vulnerabilities which could be exploited by attackers.
SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF)
We have a proven track record in conducting SWIFT CSCF assessments. Our team of assessors have considerable experience in cybersecurity, financial messaging, and SWIFT security controls.
In carrying out a SWIFT CSCF assessment for your organization, our assessors essentially assess your adherence to SWIFT’s security controls framework. This involves scrutinizing your messaging infrastructure, user access controls and overall information security measures, to ensure compliance with SWIFT’s mandatory security controls.
As such, out of a SWIFT CSCF assessment, our assessors will compile and furnish you with a SWIFT CSCF Assessment Report and based on their findings, a SWIFT CSCF Assessment Completion.
