Scale Computing announced the release of its new PCI DSS Compliance Self-Assessment Tool, part of the company’s SC//AcuVigil managed network services. The tool offers IT and compliance leaders a faster, more accessible way to evaluate an organization’s security posture and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) readiness across all locations and vendors.
The new tool addresses one of the most persistent challenges for organizations that handle credit card payments — meeting PCI DSS requirements, and maintaining ongoing visibility into compliance and security performance. By guiding users step-by-step through the most common PCI control areas, Scale Computing helps organizations understand their current posture, identify opportunities to strengthen security, improve audit outcomes, and reduce the manual overhead often associated with compliance assessments.
“PCI compliance has long been a complex and time-consuming process for businesses,” said Craig Theriac, vice president, product management at Scale Computing. “Without clear visibility across all systems, locations, and vendors, it’s difficult for IT and security decision-makers to accurately assess compliance, security, and preparedness. Our new PCI DSS Compliance Self-Assessment Tool makes it easier for IT and compliance teams to pinpoint gaps, strengthen their security posture, and prepare for audits, without the need for consultants or complicated tools. It’s about helping organizations build trust while keeping compliance efficient, actionable, and achievable.”
With a short, multiple-choice format, the new tool helps organizations evaluate key compliance areas, including:
- Vulnerability Management: Frequency and automation of internal and external scanning.
- Third-Party and Vendor Access Controls: How vendor access is granted, audited, and secured.
- Network Segmentation and Isolation: Verification of payment system segmentation and documentation practices.
- Audit Readiness and Documentation: Strength of PCI-related tracking, logging, and reporting processes and activity across all locations.
- Encryption and Secure Communication: Encryption standards during transit and consistency across systems.
Upon completion of the self-assessment, users receive a personalized report summarizing strengths, potential risks, and actionable recommendations. These insights can be used to quickly identify high-impact areas for improvement, strengthen defenses, improve audit outcomes, and kickstart conversations around centralizing or automating compliance workflows.
