15 minutes - No account needed - Requirement-by-requirement against PCI DSS v4.0.1
Count each service: gateway, tokenisation, fraud, settlement, reconciliation…
Generic AWS cost guides and cloud consultants do not understand payment infrastructure. They flag required PCI DSS headroom as waste. They miss cardholder data scoping issues that QSAs catch immediately. They do not know the difference between a security group rule that is fine and one that fails Requirement 1.
The result: most funded fintechs walk into their first QSA assessment or acquirer conversation without knowing where their gaps are. The gaps exist. They are findable. Finding them late is expensive.
The average fintech that discovers compliance gaps during due diligence loses 3-6 months on its go-live timeline while fixes are made under pressure.
Compliance remediation found during a QSA assessment costs significantly more than the same work done before the engagement starts.
Barclaycard, Worldpay, and Lloyds Cardnet reject fintech applications for gaps you could have found and fixed weeks earlier.
The free assessment tells you exactly what is broken. Membership gives you the assessments, architecture, and expert support to fix it — structured for audit scrutiny from day one.
Run all 26 assessments in simulation mode. Build your evidence pack. See exactly what your QSA and acquirer will ask for — before they ask.
Full access to every assessment: PCI DSS gap analysis, cardholder data flow diagrams, architecture decision records, infrastructure-as-code generation, agent flow simulation, observability packs.
Everything in Sync plus a dedicated Solutions Architect. Monthly reviews and architect-validated artefacts your QSA and acquirer can act on.
See how SyncYourCloud helps payment teams assess readiness, identify priority gaps, and make clearer compliance and architecture decisions.
Review compliance readiness, potential cost opportunities, critical risks, and engineering priorities in one place so each team can work from the same assessment findings.
See whether the stack is likely to pass scrutiny, where avoidable cost sits, and which architectural decisions still need evidence before launch.
Follow the assessment journey from defining your payment environment to reviewing priority gaps and organising the next actions into a practical remediation plan.
Tell us about your payment model, processing footprint, PCI DSS target, delivery timeline, and engineering capacity. Your answers establish the context needed to assess your payment infrastructure and identify the areas requiring closer review.
Review the gaps that could delay acquirer approval, increase remediation costs, or expose control weaknesses before an audit. Findings are grouped by priority so your team can focus on the issues with the greatest potential impact.
Bring compliance readiness, cost opportunities, critical risks, and recommended actions into one operating view. Engineering, finance, and leadership can use the same findings when deciding what needs attention next.
Use the assessment findings to structure conversations about evidence, architecture trade-offs, and delivery priorities. This helps your team move from identifying a gap to agreeing on a practical response.
Organise the findings into a clear remediation plan based on risk, effort, ownership, and delivery impact. Your team can see what to address first, what requires further evidence, and what can be scheduled later.

Most compliance assessments are built for generic cloud environments. Sync Your Cloud is built specifically for fintech payment infrastructure - which means it understands the difference between required PCI DSS burst headroom and genuine waste, what cardholder data environment scoping looks like in your architecture, and what a QSA actually checks.
Not theoretical compliance knowledge. Practical experience from NatWest operations with a clear understanding of how regulated banks are governed and scrutinised.
The current standard including new requirements for automated agent accounts that many compliance assessments still miss.
Output is structured the way Barclaycard, Worldpay, and Lloyds Cardnet expect to receive it - not only technically accurate, but audit-ready.
Three assessments built for payment engineering teams. Run them before you commit to membership.
Know which compliance gaps would fail your QSA assessment or delay your acquirer application - before the conversation starts.
