Compliance is only as credible as the people who sign the report. These are the recognitions and capacities behind each Kerson Wallaw division, and how you can check them.
The accreditation and certifications we hold, and the partners who issue what we cannot.
Accreditation
PCI SSC Qualified Security Assessor company
Ubitrak, a QSA company since 2011.
Recognized by the PCI Security Standards Council to assess organizations against PCI DSS. QSA companies requalify with the Council and are listed in its public directory.
Individual certifications
Certified people lead the work
Personal credentials, renewed every year.
Every PCI DSS assessment is led by an assessor individually qualified by the PCI SSC. Our president, James Barnard, also holds the PCIP, CISA and CISM certifications. Verify them below.
Assessment scope
Interac security assessments
For organizations on the Interac network.
Ubitrak assesses organizations against Interac’s security requirements, often alongside PCI DSS so evidence is collected once.
Partnership
SOC and CSAE 3416 with CPA firms
Attestation reports are issued by licensed CPAs.
Ubitrak prepares organizations and supports the audit; our CPA partner Mallette performs the engagement and issues the SOC 1, SOC 2 or CSAE 3416 report.
Partnership

External scans by a PCI SSC-approved vendor.
Quarterly external vulnerability scans are performed with a global Approved Scanning Vendor, then scheduled and tracked in the Ubitrak Audit Portal.
