PCI DSS compliance without the scramble
Monikal PCI is a compliance management platform designed and built by QSAs to help you stay on top of PCI DSS throughout the year:
- One place for requirements, evidence and actions
- Visibility of what’s complete, due and outstanding
- Continuity when people or responsibilities change
Built for the realities of PCI DSS
PCI DSS can be complex to manage, with evidence, requirements, actions and responsibilities often spread across different people, systems and points in the year.
Monikal PCI brings that compliance programme together, providing a clear, shared picture of where it stands and what needs attention.
With a clearer view across the compliance programme, gaps can be addressed earlier, ongoing requirements are less likely to be missed and annual assessment becomes easier to prepare for, with less work left to pull together at the last minute.
How it works
1. Your QSA sets you up
Your QSA configures Monikal PCI in line with your organisation’s PCI DSS reporting requirements.
2. Work together throughout the year
Your organisation and QSA use Monikal PCI to upload, store and review evidence, manage actions and keep the compliance programme moving.
3. Stay ready for assessment
Your compliance programme is maintained throughout the year, so evidence, actions and required activities should be well under control as annual assessment approaches.
Monikal PCI is managed by QSAs and used with their clients to support year-round PCI DSS compliance. If you would like to use Monikal PCI for your organisation’s PCI compliance, speak to your QSA (or contact us).
Everything you need to manage PCI DSS
Monikal PCI brings the compliance programme into one place, giving QSAs and their clients a shared, up-to-date view of requirements, evidence, actions and ongoing activity – and the tools to keep it moving throughout the year.
Compliance overview
Tracks overall progress across the applicable PCI DSS requirements, with a clear view of what’s complete, outstanding and needs attention.
Evidence management
Stores and organises required evidence, flags what’s missing, and lets QSAs review and mark submitted evidence from within the platform.
Actions and tasks
Records outstanding actions against requirements, assigns tasks to the user/s, and tracks task progress through to completion.
Automated notifications
Notifies QSAs when evidence is submitted for review and alerts users when assigned tasks or scheduled requirements need action.
Scheduled requirements
Tracks scheduled activities and upcoming due dates, helping keep scans, testing, reviews and other recurring requirements on track.
Central PCI DSS repository
Keeps evidence, reports, actions and assessment documentation together, maintaining continuity when people or responsibilities change.
How Monikal PCI helps QSAs: streamline ongoing client management
Greater visibility across clients
See progress, outstanding evidence, actions and upcoming requirements without piecing the picture together across emails and documents.
Less chasing
Keep evidence requests, actions and responsibilities visible in the platform, with automatic notifications prompting clients when something needs their attention.
Review as you go
Review and mark evidence, raise actions and address gaps throughout the year rather than concentrating the work around assessment.
More efficient client management
Keep requirements, evidence, actions and communication structured in one place, reducing the admin involved in managing ongoing compliance.
Better-prepared clients
Keep evidence, actions and requirements moving throughout the year, so clients arrive at assessment with more of the groundwork already in place.
Easier client handovers
Maintain a clear record of each client’s compliance programme, making it easier for another QSA to pick up when responsibilities change.
How Monikal PCI helps organisations: make PCI DSS easier to manage internally
Less to keep track of
Clear actions, responsibilities and notifications make it easier to know what needs attention and when.
Less risk of something being missed
Scheduled requirements and outstanding activity remain visible throughout the year, helping avoid discovering gaps too late.
Less disruption at assessment time
Evidence and actions are managed as the year progresses, reducing the last-minute scramble to pull everything together.
A clearer view of compliance
See where the programme stands throughout the year, rather than only getting that picture as annual assessment approaches.
Continuity when people change
PCI DSS knowledge, evidence and activity stay with the organisation when people are absent or responsibilities move.
Easier collaboration with your QSA
Share evidence, receive feedback and manage actions through the same platform, reducing the need for back-and-forth across emails and attachments.
About Monikal PCI
Monikal PCI was developed by the team at Securious, a PCI DSS Qualified Security Assessor Company (QSAC), drawing on years of experience helping organisations manage and demonstrate PCI DSS compliance.
The platform grew out of the practical challenges the team saw organisations and QSAs dealing with every day – evidence spread across different systems, actions being managed through email, recurring requirements that are easy to lose track of, and too much work building up around annual assessment.
That experience shaped Monikal PCI into a platform designed around how PCI DSS is actually managed in practice, with QSAs closely involved in defining how it works.
