PCI DSS · DORA / ICT evidence · Estonia & Nordics beachhead
Stop rebuilding compliance proof in spreadsheets every audit cycle.
PayEvidence turns payment-stack signals into continuous, auditor-ready
PCI DSS (and DORA-relevant ICT) evidence — so Compliance and CISO teams
at PSPs and fintechs always know what still proves each control.
Not a QSA assessment
No cardholder data (CHD)
Synthetic / scrubbed signals only
Evidence layer — not a bank or PSP
What it does
- Ingest payment-stack artifacts (API access logs, config snapshots, control-test results, change records).
- Map them to a curated PCI-first control catalogue (DORA ICT subset next).
- Score each control continuously as pass, gap, or stale.
- Export dated HTML + PDF evidence packs for auditors and audit folders.
Who it’s for
- Buyer: Head of Compliance / PCI program owner; CISO co-buyer.
- ICP: EU payment platforms, PSPs, and fintechs that run their own card or payment-API stack.
- Beachhead: Estonia & Nordics → DE/NL.
- Not for: merchants with no payment backend; generic all-of-GRC; CHD processing or PSP licensing.
Positioning (clear boundaries)
PayEvidence is an evidence layer. It shortens the gather loop QSAs still make you do by hand.
It does not replace a QSA, does not claim a clean bill of health, and does
not store or process cardholder data — only metadata, scrubbed logs, configs, and control tests.
MVP covers an evidence-heavy PCI subset (20 controls in the NordicPay sample), not every PCI DSS requirement.
NordicPay sample — what you’ll see in the demo
Default profile: 16 pass / 4 gap / 0 stale across 20 PCI-mapped controls.
Four intentional gaps (change management + vulnerability). Generate dated HTML/PDF packs; switch to the
change-record profile to clear change gaps (18/2) while vuln gaps remain.

Scores and packs are frozen snapshots from the PayEvidence app — not a live assessment.
