Framework Mapping

Stay ready for PCI DSS reviews

Map PCI DSS to the controls and evidence your team already maintains, keep the record current between cycles, and answer auditors, customers, and security reviewers with traceable proof without rebuilding the record each time.

Cardholder-data environments should not start as standard self-service.

Aurora can structure PCI DSS review evidence, but PCI/cardholder-data workflows that need sector-specific obligations or restricted-data handling should go through a walkthrough and manual contracting path before relying on self-service.

From request to handoff

How Teams Stay Review-Ready Between Cycles

Aurora turns one named framework request into a repeatable operating motion your team can maintain between audits, buyer reviews, and renewals.

Scope the exact version

Start with the PCI DSS version your reviewer or buyer already asked for so the record matches the request in front of you.

Reuse the controls you already trust

Map overlapping requirements to the same governed control library instead of rebuilding the program around one framework.

Keep proof current between cycles

Attach evidence with owners, freshness expectations, and reminders so the package stays current while the business keeps moving.

Capture approvals and decisions

Keep policy approvals, exceptions, and review history linked to the same record so reviewers see the operating context, not just files.

Hand off a clean reviewer package

Share structured access or export a scoped package with mappings, evidence context, and timestamps already intact.

Governed proof

The Mapped Record Your Reviewer Opens

Show the exact framework version, the linked controls, and the supporting evidence in one clean view instead of sending reviewers into folders.

Aurora controls workspace showing in-scope framework mappings, linked evidence, and governed context.

Need a Framework We Do Not List Yet?

If one customer, auditor, or regulator requirement is the only thing holding up the deal, bring it. Aurora can scope the overlap, confirm the rollout path, and talk through prioritizing that onboarding inside the same control, evidence, and reviewer-sharing system your team already runs.

What we work through

Version-specific feasibility

We look at the exact PCI DSS version or adjacent requirement set in scope so there is no ambiguity about what has to be supported.

Control and evidence overlap

We identify how much of the work can ride on the controls, approvals, and evidence your team already maintains in Aurora.

Onboarding priority and rollout path

If it is launch-critical, we will discuss what prioritization would look like with sales instead of leaving your team guessing.

Common questions

What Teams Ask Before the Next Review

How does this fit alongside the frameworks we already run?

Aurora maps each framework into the same governed control and evidence system, so teams expand coverage without rebuilding the entire record.

How quickly can we answer the next reviewer request?

Bring the framework version and review window you need to answer. Aurora helps your team move from mapped controls to traceable proof without rebuilding the package from scratch.

What does the reviewer actually receive?

Reviewers get structured access to the mapped record, linked evidence, approvals, and point-in-time exports instead of a loose collection of attachments.

Does Aurora replace the auditor or assessor?

No. Aurora keeps the work current, traceable, and ready to share. Auditors, assessors, and regulators remain independent.

Aurora does not guarantee certification, audit outcomes, or reviewer decisions.

Next step

Preparing for PCI DSS review?

Bring the version your reviewer asked for. We will show how Aurora maps PCI DSS into your existing control library, keeps evidence current, and gives reviewers a clean handoff.
