About
Consultation first, then compliance
Ascend was established to provide PCI DSS compliance, penetration testing and ASV scanning services to businesses large and small.
Our company
Ascend Security & Assessment is a PCI SSC Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) company.
Our approach of close guidance, clear communication and expertise makes client engagements straightforward and, we hope, enjoyable.
Our QSA-led assessments and penetration testing adapt to advanced technical requirements. We communicate potential findings as they arise, clarify them with your IT and business leaders, and report them appropriately.
Our mission
Ascend Security & Assessment was founded on the principle of putting consultation back into professional services. We believe delivering a service is not the same as building a relationship. Our mission is to help service providers and merchants prove PCI DSS compliance and strengthen their security posture through a consultative, long-term partnership.
