Organizations across the globe are required to demonstrate PCI compliance to ensure that cardholder data is protected and secure from numerous internal and external threats. The challenge for most organizations is that demonstrating compliance is usually performed on an ad hoc basis and without a clear process to regularly support multiple audit requests. Most organizations struggle to gather audit data and compliance measurements due to a lack of automated compliance workflows across the organization. Some of the typical issues around PCI compliance include the following:

High cost of demonstrating compliance

Lack of standardized IT audit processes

Reporting on multiple regulations, mandates and policies

Lack of enterprise visibility and prioritization of IT risk
