PCI DSS Compliance Automation with CyberSilo CSA + ThreatHawk

Most PCI programs fail between annual assessments: evidence goes stale, Requirement 10 logs are incomplete, and TPSP AOCs sit in email. Compliance Standards Automation (CSA) plus ThreatHawk SIEM keep requirement status and operational artefacts continuous for SAQ or ROC preparation under PCI DSS v4.0.1.

Gotcha: Automation does not issue an AOC and does not replace a QSA or a PCI SSC-listed ASV.

Why PCI Evidence Fails Without Continuous Collection

Point-in-time binders miss change detection (11.6.1), payment-page scripts (6.4.3), TRA updates (12.3.1), and log review evidence. Continuous mapping turns assessment prep into a filter, not a scavenger hunt.

What CSA Covers for PCI

Control library aligned to Requirements 1–12
TRA and TPSP trackers for Requirement 12 workflows
Evidence vault with owners, dates, and sampling-ready links
Gap and remediation status ahead of SAQ or ROC fieldwork

What ThreatHawk Adds

Requirement 10 logging, retention, and review artefacts
Alerting paths that feed Requirement 12.10 incident response
Operational proof that monitoring is not spreadsheet-only

ASV, TEM, and Pentest Tie-Ins

CyberSilo can help organize vulnerability and exposure evidence. External ASV scans must still be delivered by a PCI SSC-approved ASV. Treat TEM/pentest outputs as inputs to Requirement 11 evidence - not as a substitute for the ASV program.

10 Logging

SIEM sources, review evidence, time sync

11 Testing

ASV, scans, pentest, 11.6.1 change detection

12 Governance

Policies, TRA, TPSP AOCs, IR plan + test record

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CSA produce an AOC?

No. CSA organizes evidence for your SAQ or QSA ROC path; attestation remains on official SSC forms.

Can ThreatHawk replace an ASV?

No. ASV external scanning requires a PCI SSC-listed ASV company.

Is this only for Level 1?

No. SAQ merchants and service providers both benefit from continuous evidence - depth scales with scope.
