Payment workflow review
Map how payments are accepted and identify where card information, payment devices, customer records, or credentials may create unnecessary risk.
PCI DSS readiness & payment security support.
Practical technical support for businesses that accept payment cards: reduce exposure, secure the surrounding environment, organize documentation, and address the issues that matter.
Payment security without the confusion
Reduce card-data exposure before you have to explain it.
PCI DSS can sound like an enterprise project. For many small businesses, the best starting point is to limit where payment-card information can touch the environment, then bring the surrounding systems under control.
- Review payment workflows, terminals, payment workstations, hosted payment pages, and potential card-data exposure
- Strengthen endpoint security, MFA, patching, access controls, network configuration, and Wi-Fi separation
- Organize technical documentation, remediation priorities, vendor contacts, and support materials for payment-security requests
- Help gather technical information for merchant self-assessment questionnaires and processor follow-up
Where we can help
Practical PCI DSS readiness work for small businesses.
Work can be scoped as a focused review, a technical remediation project, or part of ongoing managed IT and compliance support.
Endpoint & access controls
Improve MFA, admin access, patching, endpoint protection, encryption, password practices, account ownership, and offboarding processes.
Payment-device environment
Review payment terminals, point-of-sale workstations, local networks, remote access, Wi-Fi, and vendor-managed tools around payment processing.
Documentation & questionnaire support
Organize technical details, network and device records, vendor information, procedures, and evidence requested by a processor, bank, insurer, or merchant questionnaire.
Remediation roadmap
Turn a list of findings into a practical sequence of high-priority technical fixes, owners, milestones, and follow-up checks.
Scope-reduction planning
Where appropriate, help reduce exposure by moving toward processor-managed terminals, hosted payment pages, tokenized workflows, and cleaner data-handling practices.
A practical role
Technical readiness—not PCI certification.
Solano Technology helps with the systems, security controls, remediation work, documentation, and vendor coordination that support payment-security requirements.
Formal PCI DSS validation, merchant classification, and any required certification remain with the merchant, payment processor, acquiring bank, or qualified external assessor as applicable.
Good fit for: Dental and healthcare practices, professional offices, tax and accounting firms, retail and service businesses, and organizations using payment terminals, hosted checkout, or point-of-sale platforms.
Payment security should be deliberate
Start with a clear view of the payment workflow, then fix the gaps that create real risk.
Tell us how you accept cards, the systems involved, and any request you have received from a processor, bank, insurer, or auditor.
