MSPs and IT service providers get asked the compliance questions their stack was never built to answer. Veritaq is the bench behind your brand: assessments, policy documentation, and remediation plans that hold up in front of examiners, auditors, and assessors. ISOs, ISVs, embedded payment platforms, community banks, and credit unions engage us directly, each with an engagement built around their own regulatory obligations. AI accelerates the work. The judgment behind it stays human.
Every engagement is structured around the specific regulatory framework your organization is subject to, not generic compliance checklists. Each one produces the complete deliverable set: gap assessment with prioritized findings, board ready policy documentation, and a remediation plan mapped to the framework's actual requirements.
Readiness assessment and SAQ preparation for ISOs, ISVs, community banks, and credit unions that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. Gap documentation and policy drafts structured for preparation ahead of QSA and ASV engagement.
The primary supervisory framework for bank technology and cybersecurity. Covers IT governance, risk management, access controls, incident response, vendor management, and business continuity, the domains FDIC, OCC, and Federal Reserve examiners assess.
NCUA cybersecurity and information security requirements for federally insured credit unions, including alignment to the updated Automated Cybersecurity Evaluation Tool (ACET) framework replacing the retired FFIEC CAT.
New York's cybersecurity regulation for institutions licensed by the Department of Financial Services. Readiness for the governance, access control, risk assessment, and reporting obligations that apply to covered entities operating in New York.
The GLBA Safeguards Rule requirements for protecting customer financial information. For banks and credit unions, and for the businesses outside banking the Rule also covers: auto dealerships, CPA and tax firms, mortgage and finance companies, and other financial institutions under FTC jurisdiction.
Gap assessment and control mapping against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria for service organizations handling customer data. Relevant for ISVs, ISOs, and fintech companies whose bank and credit union clients require third party assurance.
Compliance requests from your clients rarely fit the services you sell. The work stalls, the client relationship carries the strain, and hiring a compliance lead rarely pencils out. We deliver the entire engagement as your compliance partner, under a model built to protect the relationship you own.
We work behind the scenes as your compliance bench, and deliverables can carry your brand. The client relationship stays where it belongs: with you.
Scoping call, structured assessment, a findings register with an owner ready action plan, and policy drafts your client's board can act on. Scope and pricing agreed up front.
Merchants under card network requirements. Dealerships, accounting firms, and lenders with federal safeguards obligations. Software companies asked for security assurance. Banks and credit unions ahead of examinations.
When an engagement calls for a formal attestation, a certified audit, or specialized testing, we help your client engage the right specialists and coordinate the work through completion.
We specialize in the compliance gap between what your payment infrastructure covers and what your actual regulatory obligation requires.
PCI DSS service provider readiness for independent sales organizations and software vendors. Scoping, gap assessment, policy documentation, and AOC preparation: the compliance program no merchant portal or processor platform was built to deliver.
Every ISV that becomes a payment facilitator inherits a service provider PCI obligation that stalls merchant onboarding and creates unaddressed liability. Veritaq closes the readiness gap before the formal assessment, scoped to your payment model.
Examination readiness, safeguards alignment, information security policy development, and board level compliance reporting, without the cost of a full cycle engagement from a large firm. Examiner ready documentation for institutions that need to move fast.
Compliance assessment and documentation for technology firms serving regulated institutions, structured for firms that need to demonstrate their security posture to bank and credit union clients.
Most firms take three to four weeks and deliver a gap list. We deliver a complete package, ready for the board, the examiner, or the QSA.
We establish the applicable frameworks, organization profile, and upcoming examination or assessment timeline. Engagement scope and pricing confirmed before any work begins.
A guided assessment mapped to current examiner and QSA expectations. Designed for your IT, compliance, or security lead, with no prior framework expertise required.
Gap report with prioritized findings, policy drafts for identified deficiencies, and a stakeholder ready presentation, delivered within five business days.
Advisory work is being rebuilt around AI. Engagements that once ran for weeks now close in days. Veritaq is built for that shift rather than pretending it is not happening. But faster is not the same as automated. The mechanical work runs on AI. The judgment, the interpretation, and the accountability for what an examiner or QSA will actually accept stay with a practitioner. That is the line we hold, and it is the line that keeps the work defensible.
AI compresses the drafting, control mapping, and first pass scoring that used to consume an engagement. The work that takes experience still gets it. You get the speed of software with the judgment of an advisor who has sat across from examiners and QSAs.
Assessments run on a deterministic engine. Scoring, SAQ routing, and requirement mapping follow encoded logic drawn from the standards themselves, so the same inputs produce the same assessment every time. AI drafts the language. The logic underneath does not improvise.
Every conclusion is reviewed and owned by an experienced practitioner. We tell you what an examiner or QSA will actually see, not what a model hopes. Honest readiness you can defend, never a false sense of compliance.
We prepare organizations for the people who verify them. Formal attestations and certified audits come from independent CPA firms and Qualified Security Assessors, exactly as professional standards intend, and we coordinate with them rather than compete with them. You get an advisor with no incentive to grade their own homework, and a deliverable built to hold up when the verifier arrives.
Veritaq Advisory was founded by a CISA certified compliance professional with over a decade of experience across external audit, financial services examination, and in house GRC leadership.
We have worked on both sides of the compliance equation, advising regulated institutions on examination readiness and building compliance programs from the ground up inside high growth fintech companies. That dual perspective shapes how every Veritaq engagement is structured: we know what examiners and QSAs look for because we have spent years preparing organizations to face them.
