Security Management Consulting

Security Management Consulting supports merchants, service providers, and organisations handling payment-card data with PCI DSS readiness, assessment, remediation, validation, testing, or continuing compliance services.
PCI DSS auditing, compliance consulting, gap assessments, remediation support, and PCI Card Production services for organizations worldwide.

When I founded SMC in 2012, the goal was simple: make PCI compliance more manageable, transparent, and achievable for organizations operating in the payment card industry. Over the years, we’ve seen how standards evolve and how compliance challenges grow more complex—especially for vendors navigating certification and ongoing requirements.

At SMC, we take a hands-on, personal approach. We work closely with our clients to understand their environments, constraints, and goals, providing guidance grounded in real-world experience and long-standing relationships within the payment card ecosystem.
