Why InfoSec Certifications Matter

Obtaining an information security certification is a powerful statement for any business, both from a security and business perspective. Securing PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or other certifications will give your organization confidence that it has the security controls to protect your most valuable data. But the benefits run deeper than information security. A recognizable certificate will assure your customers and prospects that you are committed to protecting their data and potentially separate your business from the competition.

Our InfoSec Certification Services

At CompliancePoint, we have the knowledge and experience to guide organizations through the certification process for the following standards.

PCI Certifications

PCI DSS Certification Services

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security requirements mandated by major credit card providers to protect cardholder data and reduce fraud. The standard applies to all organizations that process payment card information, including merchants, processors, acquirers, card issuers, and other service providers.

PCI 3DS Certification Services

PCI 3D Secure (PCI 3DS) Core Security Standard is a Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council framework to protect online card transactions. The standard prevents unauthorized transactions and online payment fraud by authenticating a consumer’s identity when making card-not-present (CNP) purchases.

CompliancePoint is an authorized Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). We partner with each client to ensure they successfully achieve their certification objectives.  CompliancePoint provides the expertise, experience, and technology to guide organizations through every step in the PCI certification process. Once certification is secured, we can maintain your PCI program to ensure compliance is maintained for the long term.

For organizations needing PCI DSS and 3DS certifications, we can tailor a service package that addresses both standards.

ISO Certifications

ISO 27001 Certification Services

ISO 27001 is a highly renowned Information Security Standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that is recognized internationally. It is a collection of security policies and procedures designed to help organizations protect their data through an Information Security Management System (ISMS).

ISO 27701 Certification Services

ISO 27701 is designed to help organizations manage Personally Identifiable Information (PII) through the implementation of a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). The framework serves as an extension to ISO 27001, addressing the need to manage privacy and PII. Organizations must hold an ISO 27001 certification to secure an ISO 27701 certification. Organizations new to both standards can use ISO 27701 as a framework to manage information security and privacy simultaneously.

ISO 42001 Certification Services

ISO 42001 is a standard published in 2023 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to address security concerns of artificial intelligence (AI). It is the first certifiable standard to provide requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an AI Management System (AIMS).

Whether your organization needs ISO 27001, 27701, or 24001, CompliancePoint has a team of former ISO auditors and experienced practitioners who can prepare your organization for a successful ISO certification. CompliancePoint has a partnership with Mastermind, a certification body accredited by the International Accreditation Service that specializes in the auditing of ISO standards. Mastermind was the world’s first certification body for ISO 42001. We work with Mastermind to simplify the entire certification process for our customers, from initial readiness assessments and policy development to the resulting certification audit.

SOC 2 Attestation Services

SOC 2 is a data security standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). that focuses on securely handling and managing customer data. SOC 2 reports are most commonly utilized by service providers. SOC 2 compliance is a powerful way to demonstrate to customers and prospects you are committed to protecting their data.

CompliancePoint has the experience, knowledge, and technology to help your organization achieve a successful SOC 2 attestation. We will walk you through the design and implementation of controls that meet SOC 2 requirements. CompliancePoint also offers program management services to ensure you can maintain long-term compliance.
