Costs vary widely, so we give a fixed quote after a scoping call rather than a generic number.
Realistic timeline
Small merchants with reduced scope often complete in a few weeks. Service providers and banks with a large CDE typically need several months, mostly for remediation.
Our role
We handle scoping, gap analysis, remediation support and audit coordination with the QSA. [Talk to our PCI DSS team](/contact) or see our [PCI DSS services](/services/pcidss).
Looking for local support? We serve [Mumbai](/services/pcidss/mumbai), [Delhi](/services/pcidss/delhi), [Hyderabad](/services/pcidss/hyderabad) and [Bengaluru](/services/pcidss/bangalore).
