02The challenge

Orbital's card environment had grown organically across two regions. PCI DSS v4 brought targeted risk analyses and new authentication requirements, while DORA demanded a full ICT third-party register.

  2. 2Targeted risk analysesDocumented analyses for every flexible-frequency requirement.
  3. 3DORA gap to planICT risk framework, incident classification and register of information built alongside PCI.
  4. 4Pen testingSegmentation and application testing scoped to satisfy both regimes.
