NexGen Saas, Services and Consulting for Proactive PCI Compliance. Protocol is a data security company built on the belief that motivated individuals empowered with the right tools can make a difference in their lives and communities. We help organizations of all sizes, validate and maintain PCI DSS standards while also helping to eliminate other data security risks. With PCI DSS requirements now passing a decade since inception, many organizations continue to rely on the same standard SAQ documents and formats developed over a decade ago for annual PCI compliance validation. These redundant compliance formats and solutions continue to leave merchants dependent on insecure spreadsheets or disjointed security point solutions to manage compliance initiatives and tasks. Using the wrong tools to get the job done results in unnecessary time and resource expenditure, duplication of work, business risks, costs and a false sense of security. It’s no wonder so many organizations continue to fall victim to data security breaches even while PCI compliance validation rates continue to increase. As data breaches continue to increase each year, threats of legal action and government oversight make it imperative that organizations take a proactive risk-based approach to their compliance validation and beyond. A primary focus of Nexus is in the establishment of evidence of compliance through the Nexus secure repository. No more silos of information with organizational teams, vendors and clients. All documentation and evidence for all involved in your compliance initiatives at your fingertips. Nexus helps you see your complete compliance picture so that you know with certainty that you are truly PCI compliant.
