“We’re excited to now offer Canadian PCI QSA services in addition to our U.S.-based service,” said Mark Carl, CEO, ControlScan. “This comes as a natural progression, given our relationships with payment service providers whose merchant bases span both countries.”
ControlScan is now listed on the official PCI SSC website as a QSA approved to service both the United States and Canadian markets. As a PCI QSA company, ControlScan is qualified to validate compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS), a set of payment security guidelines designed to ensure that companies accepting, processing, storing or transmitting credit card information maintain a secure environment.
“The ControlScan QSAs we have worked with are outstanding and are always willing to assist in getting us compliant and more importantly, secure,” said Don Stegman, Director of IT, Granite City Food and Brewery.
The ControlScan Security Consulting Services team is comprised of senior consultants with extensive experience assessing IT security risk as well as compliance with standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, HITRUST and more. Along with QSA services, the team provides penetration testing, social engineering, web application assessments, and HITRUST readiness assessments.
“Launching Canadian PCI QSA services is just one way we’re working to simplify and streamline the compliance process for Canada-based businesses,” Carl added. “We’ve also recently updated our PCI 1-2-3 merchant self-assessment tools to include French-Canadian localization.”
