VPC & WAF setup for PCI DSS and similar regulations
We design your cloud network with your auditors in mind. Segmentation, WAF protection, encryption and logging are built in from the start and documented in a way assessors can follow.
| Cardholder data environment segmented | In place |
| Inbound traffic through WAF only | In place |
| No public IPs on app & data tiers | In place |
| Encryption at rest with managed keys | In place |
| Flow logs & audit logs retained | In place |
| Quarterly rule review scheduled | Planned |
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Segmented VPC design
A separate cardholder data environment, private subnets, controlled egress and no public IPs on sensitive tiers.
Managed WAF
AWS WAF or Cloud Armor with OWASP rule sets, rate limiting, bot protection and geo controls.
Encryption & key management
KMS-managed keys, TLS everywhere, secrets rotation and HSM-backed options.
Access control
Least-privilege IAM, bastion-free access through session managers, and MFA enforcement.
Logging & retention
Flow logs, audit logs and WAF logs, centralised and kept for the required periods.
Evidence for assessors
Architecture diagrams, data-flow maps and control documentation mapped to requirements.
How an engagement runs
Gap assessment
We review your current network and controls against the requirements.
Design
Target segmentation, data flows and control mapping.
Implement
Built as infrastructure as code, with change sets you can review.
Validate
Configuration scans, penetration test support and remediation.
Evidence pack
Documentation ready for your QSA or auditor.
Frequently asked questions
Can you certify us as PCI DSS compliant?
Certification is issued by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). We design, build and document the cloud controls they assess, and support you through the assessment.
Which other regulations do you cover?
Besides PCI DSS, we design for RBI IT and data localisation guidelines, India's DPDP Act, ISO 27001 controls and SOC 2-style requirements.
Do we need to rebuild our whole infrastructure?
Usually not. We often reduce PCI scope by isolating the cardholder data environment, which can make compliance simpler and cheaper.
Do you set up WAF on both AWS and GCP?
Yes. We use AWS WAF on AWS and Cloud Armor on Google Cloud, with managed rule sets and custom rules tuned to your traffic.
Often paired with
Reporting & data access with DPDP compliance
Reporting stacks and analyst access with PII masking, consent-aware pipelines and full audit trails.
