PCI Compliance Consulting

PCI DSS compliance for businesses that process credit card payments — protect cardholder data and avoid fines.

If your business accepts credit card payments, you’re required to comply with PCI DSS. Non-compliance risks include fines up to $100,000/month, increased processing fees, and loss of the ability to accept card payments entirely.

TVG Consulting implements the technical controls and policies needed for PCI DSS compliance — tailored to your business size and processing volume.

Why businesses move to managed IT

Two offices, both local to the clients they serve. Los Angeles–area support runs from our Burbank office at 217 West Alameda Ave #102, and Middle Tennessee support runs from our Franklin office at 625 Bakers Bridge Ave Ste 105 — so an on-site visit is a drive across town, not a flight.

FBI InfraGard member. TVG participates in InfraGard, the FBI’s information-sharing partnership between the Bureau and private-sector organizations that operate critical infrastructure. It is a partnership for threat intelligence, not an endorsement or a certification.

Managed IT and a vCIO in the same engagement. Proactive monitoring, patching, help desk and layered security for a predictable monthly fee — plus budgeting, lifecycle planning and a technology roadmap, so somebody is thinking about next year while someone else is fixing today.

What the current data says — 2026

$4.99M Global average cost of a data breach — a record high, up 12% year over year IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026; research conducted independently by the Ponemon Institute. ibm.com/reports/data-breach
48% Share of all breaches that now involve ransomware, even as ransom payouts shrink Verizon Business, 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report. verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir
31% Share of breaches that start with a software vulnerability — now ahead of stolen passwords as the leading way in Verizon Business, 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report. verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir

Two of those three are what a managed IT plan is built to address directly: tested backup and recovery for the ransomware case, and disciplined patch management for the vulnerability case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my business need PCI compliance?+
If you accept, process, store, or transmit credit card data in any form, you must comply with PCI DSS. This applies to all businesses regardless of size or transaction volume.
Which PCI SAQ do I need to complete?+
It depends on how you process payments. SAQ A is for e-commerce with fully outsourced payment pages. SAQ A-EP, C, C-VT, D, and others apply to different processing methods. We help you determine the correct SAQ.
How can I reduce my PCI compliance scope?+
Network segmentation, tokenization, and outsourcing payment processing to PCI-compliant providers are the most effective ways to reduce scope — and cost — of PCI compliance.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?+
Non-compliance can result in fines of $5,000-100,000/month from payment brands, increased transaction fees, and potentially losing the ability to accept credit card payments.
How often do we need PCI assessments?+
Annual self-assessments (SAQ) are required, along with quarterly external vulnerability scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). We manage both on an ongoing basis.
Do you provide quarterly PCI scans?+
Yes. We coordinate quarterly ASV scans, manage remediation of any findings, and maintain documentation of your ongoing PCI compliance status.
