Case Study: ELKART achieves continuous PCI DSS compliance and cost-efficient vulnerability management with Qualys

Cost Efficient, Effective Vulnerability Management and PCI DSS Compliance

ELKART, a 35‑employee Polish leader in payment card personalization, needed a cost‑efficient way to secure its network and prove compliance with PCI DSS (and ISO 27001) despite a small IT team. Quarterly external scans weren’t enough, so the company sought an automated vulnerability management solution to discover assets, prioritize risks, remediate issues, and produce audit-ready compliance reports.

ELKART implemented QualysGuard in three days with local partner IMNS Polska and now runs automated internal and external scans several times a week, schedules assessments, shares role‑based reports, and verifies fixes. The subscription service reduced costs versus outside consultants, improved accuracy and continuous security, streamlined PCI reporting, and produced audit results that impressed their auditors.
