What happens during a PCI DSS audit and how do I prepare?

During the audit, your compliance documentation will be reviewed and your security controls will be tested by security assessors to verify if you're meeting all applicable requirements. For requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, auditors will examine your script inventory, review authorization documentation, test your monitoring systems, and verify that you're detecting unauthorized changes. Having automated monitoring with cside means your compliance documentation is always current and audit-ready, with detailed logs, weekly reports, and clear evidence of continuous monitoring that auditors can easily review and validate.
