The Problem

Card entry moved on years ago. Your business now runs on Pay-by-Link, integrated terminals and cloud-native APIs — but the way most organisations think about PCI compliance hasn't kept up.

Hyperscalers don't see PCI data. AWS and Azure protect your infrastructure, but they aren't scanning your application logs for leaked card numbers — that's outside their remit, and outside their liability.

SDKs aren't silver bullets. Pre-built libraries from Stripe or Adyen are secure by design, but a misconfigured implementation, an over-permissive webhook, or a debug log left switched on can undo all of that.

Compliance is no longer static. An annual assessment tells you nothing about the API vulnerability introduced in last week's deploy.

We Secure the Implementation

We bridge the gap between modern payment technology and PCI DSS v4.1 requirements. We don't just tell you what the standard says — we help you secure how your engineering team actually builds against it.

That means scanning the endpoints your checkout flow depends on, tracing where card and token data actually travels through your logs and databases, and reviewing the handoff points where legacy systems meet modern cloud APIs.

The result is a payment architecture that's defensible on paper and, more importantly, resilient in production.

How Metasure manages this for you: The dashboard above reflects our AI-driven continuous monitoring layer, running autonomously across your API estate — scanning endpoints, tracing token events and inspecting logs in real time, then triaging every finding by severity. Low-risk noise is filtered and resolved automatically; anything the model flags as critical or high is escalated to a human consultant for verification before it reaches you. It's a risk-based, human-in-the-loop model: automation handles the volume, our experts own the judgment calls — so the alerts that land on your desk are the ones that genuinely matter, surfaced and prioritised the same day rather than at next year's audit.

60-Second Self-Assessment

How exposed is your payment stack?

Run through the same checks our consultants make on every engagement. Tick what your setup already covers — the gaps are exactly where API breaches start.

0 of 15 secured Tick off what your current setup already covers.
API Endpoint Hygiene
Every route requires authentication — no anonymous access to sensitive endpoints
Object-level authorisation is checked on every request (no IDOR)
Rate limiting and throttling protect public-facing endpoints
Error responses never leak stack traces, internal paths or SQL
Secrets & Keys
No hardcoded API keys or tokens in source, mobile builds or client-side JS
Secrets live in a vault or secrets manager, not committed env files
Keys are scoped to least privilege and rotated on a schedule
Card Data Handling
PANs are never written to application logs or debug output
No plaintext card data at rest in databases or caches
TLS is enforced end to end, with no downgrade to unencrypted transport
Tokenisation
Payment tokens are generated, stored and rotated correctly
Tokens are never reversible to, or treated as, raw card data
PCI DSS v4.1 & Cloud
A client-side script inventory is maintained (requirement 6.4.3)
Logging and monitoring cover all in-scope systems
Legacy ↔ cloud API handoffs are reviewed; shared-responsibility model understood
Found a gap? That's exactly what a discovery call is for.

What We Deliver

Our Core Services

API Security Audits
Scanning endpoints for misconfigurations, hardcoded secrets and insecure direct object references (IDOR).
Data Leakage Prevention
Monitoring application logs and database queries to ensure PANs are never stored or transmitted in plaintext.
Token Lifecycle Management
Auditing how payment tokens are generated, stored and rotated — so they're never treated as raw card data.
Hybrid Architecture Risk Assessment
Securing the handoff between legacy systems and modern cloud APIs, end to end.

We Speak Both "PCI" and "DevOps"

Traditional auditors don't understand APIs. Developers don't always understand PCI. Most engagements fall into one camp or the other — and the gap between them is exactly where risk hides.

We sit at the intersection: consultants who can read a QSA's requirement and a pull request with equal fluency, and translate between the two without losing precision on either side.

Why Metasure

Vendor agnostic

We work across Stripe, Adyen, Square, Worldpay and custom-built gateways — no preferred partner steering the advice.

Continuous monitoring

Move beyond annual reports with real-time alerting on sensitive data exposure as it happens.

Architectural consultancy

We help design your payment flow to minimise PCI scope from day one, not retrofit it after launch.
