A practical way to move forward

Know the work. See the progress.

One workspace for the requirements, the people doing the work and the records behind your next review.

Data & controls

Give the payment environment a clear record.

Organise cardholder-data, network-security and safeguard records. Keep the relevant controls visible to the people responsible for implementation.

  • Cardholder-data records
  • Network security and safeguard tracking
Security operations

Keep recurring work in view.

Manage vulnerability and incident-response records alongside the controls. Give reviews a shared place to check the work still outstanding.

  • Vulnerability management records
  • Incident-response workflow
Validation preparation

Prepare the evidence for your review.

Assess gaps and organise compliance reporting work. Use the records to support the SAQ or assessment process appropriate to your environment.

  • PCI DSS gap assessment
  • Compliance reporting workspace

The detail behind the dashboard

Give every review a better starting point.

Move from a progress summary to the records that support it. Keep the next conversation focused on the work that needs attention.

Screens show example data. Shared platform features and availability depend on your plan.

Start with the right scope

For merchants and service providers managing payment security.

PCI DSS applies to environments that store, process or transmit payment account data, and systems that can affect its security. Confirm your scope and validation route with your acquirer, payment brand or assessor using the current PCI SSC materials.

A row means the two requirements cover the same ground, so one implementation and one set of evidence can usually serve both. It does not mean satisfying one certifies the other: each framework keeps its own scope, wording and assessment, and some requirements have no counterpart at all. Treat this as a starting map for planning, then confirm each row against the requirement text.

Before you get started

A few useful answers.

Want to discuss your framework and current process?

Talk it through with us
Which PCI DSS version should we use?

Use the current PCI SSC standard and the validation documents required for your environment. PCI SSC currently publishes PCI DSS v4.0.1. Confirm scope and validation requirements with your acquirer, payment brand or assessor.

Does Venvera replace a QSA or an ASV scan?

No. The workspace helps organise controls, evidence and preparation. Any required Qualified Security Assessor assessment, Approved Scanning Vendor scan or official validation remains a separate process.

Can we use our existing evidence?

Yes. Bring your policies and supporting evidence into Venvera and link them to the relevant controls. Cross-framework mappings help you identify reusable work; your team still reviews whether the evidence meets each requirement.

What is included in the trial?

The 14-day Professional trial includes up to five frameworks and unlimited users, with no credit card required. You can explore the controls, assess gaps and organise your compliance work. Framework modules are on paid plans; compare plans for feature availability.
