Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We hired 7Security to perform a PCI DSS Service Provider Level 1 audit. We are a payments gateway and this is an essential compliance certification for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

An audit is not the responsibility of the auditor to be successful. The auditor is checking our compliance against the standard. However, 7Security approached this as not strictly an audit, but in a helpful and friendly manner. In the end we achieved our compliance.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We were provided with specific guidance on how the audit will be performed. Specific steps for each phase and guidance for them. We knew exactly what it is expected from us and what we needed to do to achieve it.

What was your primary form of communication with 7Security?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They approached the audit in a friendly and helpful but professional way. Most auditors are not like that (some are even borderline aggressive) - 7Security are more of a companion than an auditor. This obviously does not mean they made "discounts" with the requirements: we had to comply with everything, and we did.

Are there any areas for improvement or something 7Security could have done differently?

No, everything was great and we are very happy.
