PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA)

PCInGuard has been certified as a QSA company by the PCI Security Standards Council, the highest PCI certification possible. If you’re a Level 1 Merchant or Service Provider, make sure you’re using a QSA since it’s required by the PCI DSS! Although not required if you’re a Level 2-4 Merchant or Level 2 Service Provider, why settle for less than the expertise provided by a Qualified Security Assessor?
