About Squirrel PCI
Built to make PCI compliance easier to run year-round.
Squirrel helps small businesses and MSPs turn PCI from a scattered annual scramble into a clearer operating process — with hands-on support, payment-page monitoring, evidence tracking, remediation workflows, and audit-ready reporting.
Why we built Squirrel
PCI compliance is often treated like a once-a-year project.
In reality, it is ongoing work. Assets change. Payment pages change. Vendors need review. Evidence expires. Scans need to be tracked. Findings need owners. Remediation work needs follow-up. And when all of that lives across spreadsheets, screenshots, scan portals, inboxes, shared folders, and ticket systems, it becomes hard to know where things actually stand.
Squirrel was built to give that work a home.
Our goal is simple: help businesses and service providers make PCI easier to understand, easier to organize, and easier to maintain over time.
PCI is not just a checklist. It is an operation.
A checklist can tell you what should exist.
But PCI readiness depends on whether the work is actually being maintained.
That means knowing:
- what systems, websites, vendors, and payment flows are in scope
- what evidence exists and what is missing
- which scans are current, stale, or overdue
- what findings need remediation
- which payment-page scripts, iframes, headers, and hosts are involved
- what changed since the last review
- what needs to be documented before an assessment or customer request
Squirrel is built around that operational reality.
Instead of treating PCI as a static paperwork exercise, Squirrel helps organize the moving parts so businesses can stay closer to ready throughout the year.
Hands-on PCI support, powered by purpose-built software
Squirrel is not just a place to store documents.
It is a PCI operations system backed by practical support.
That matters because many small businesses and MSPs do not need another dashboard they have to figure out alone. They need help understanding what matters, what is missing, what needs action, and how to keep the process moving.
Why Squirrel is different
Squirrel is not trying to be a generic security dashboard or a document dump for audits. It is built around PCI operations.
That means the product is focused on the things teams actually need to maintain over time: scoped assets, evidence health, scan proof, findings, reports, and ongoing accountability. Monitoring supports the compliance picture, but the core purpose is helping organizations run PCI more clearly and consistently.
Squirrel combines:
- PCI readiness support
- payment-page monitoring
- asset and scope tracking
- evidence organization
- findings and remediation workflows
- recurring compliance task management
- reporting and readiness visibility
The platform helps make the work repeatable. The service helps make the work understandable.
Payment-page visibility is a core part of the mission
Modern PCI work is not only about policies, scans, and questionnaires.
For businesses that accept payments online, the payment page itself can carry important risk. Scripts, iframes, third-party hosts, embedded payment providers, and page changes can all affect how clearly a business understands its payment environment.
That is why Squirrel has payment-page monitoring built directly into the PCI operations workflow.
Squirrel helps teams inventory what loads on payment pages, compare changes over time, and connect that visibility back to evidence, findings, remediation work, and business justification.
The goal is not just to find technical details.
The goal is to make payment-page review something a business can actually maintain.
Who Squirrel is for
Squirrel is built for teams that need PCI to become more organized, repeatable, and visible.
That includes:
Small businesses
Businesses that accept card payments and need help understanding scope, evidence, scans, vendors, payment pages, and readiness gaps.
Ecommerce teams
Online stores using payment providers, hosted checkout, embedded forms, WooCommerce, Shopify, custom checkout pages, or other payment flows.
MSPs and IT providers
Service providers that want a more repeatable way to help clients manage PCI work without relying on scattered spreadsheets and reminders.
Operators preparing for PCI reviews
Teams that need to pull together evidence, understand open issues, track remediation work, and stay ready for customer, bank, processor, or assessor conversations.
What makes Squirrel different
Squirrel is not trying to be a generic security dashboard.
It is focused on the operational side of PCI: the recurring work that keeps businesses ready after the initial checklist is done.
That means Squirrel is built around practical questions:
- What is in scope?
- What evidence do we have?
- What evidence is missing?
- What changed on the payment page?
- What findings need action?
- Who owns the work?
- What needs proof?
- What is ready to report?
This is the difference between “having PCI information somewhere” and actually being able to run PCI as a business process.
Built in the Pacific Northwest with a practical point of view
Squirrel is built from a simple belief:
PCI should be easier for real businesses to operate.
Small businesses should not have to manage compliance through confusion, scattered files, and last-minute panic. MSPs should not have to reinvent the process for every client. Ecommerce teams should not be blind to what is changing on their payment pages.
Squirrel exists to make that work clearer, calmer, and more manageable.
Squirrel is built by a Seattle-area founder focused on practical PCI operations for small businesses, ecommerce stores, and MSPs.
