PCI Compliance

In the area of security projects, a successful stint in managing the PCI compliance project and a network overhaul to keep sensitive data under wraps. We got hands-on, roping in an IBM expert for the PCI compliance hustle. Think of it as a tech-savvy buddy helping us out. We led sessions, sketching out network diagrams like roadmaps, all to meet those PCI requirements. Data security policies? Yep, we made those to ensure everyone was on the same page. Setting up shop with a project governance structure, we had our roles and responsibilities laid out like a game plan. Keeping tabs on risks and scope creep became second nature, dealing with potential issues before they even blinked.

At the helm, we teamed up with the bigwigs and stakeholders, chatting about budgets, tracking, and cost-benefit stuff. We sorted out who's who, figured out what we needed, and made sure the pocket money was in order. Change control? Managed like a pro. We kept everyone in the loop, telling them how things were going. MS Project 2010 became our handy sidekick, helping us make sense of work breakdowns, schedules, and budgeting—nothing fancy, just the basics. We kept tabs and shared the deets with the VP/SVPs and the big bosses on the Board. Monthly vendor invoice checks were routine, making sure the numbers lined up and payments were on point.
