We started 2024 strong by announcing the addition of Diana Edreva to our team. Diana comes from a solid background in Information Security, holding a Bachelor’s degree focused on Computer and Information Systems Security, and a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics. Diana is currently a PhD candidate in Cybersecurity as well. She has a keen interest in modern security practices and was eager to dig deeper into payment security compliance.
Over the last few months, Diana has been working side by side with us, immersing herself in PCI standards and preparing for a new exciting role. We are thrilled to share that she has recently passed her PCI Qualified Security Assessor examination, officially making her the fourth QSA in our team. Diana is already working closely with FinTech companies, helping them to streamline their PCI DSS compliance efforts and improve their payment environments.
“Becoming a QSA is incredibly exciting,” Diana shared. “Learning about the account data flows and various architectures and security principles was absolutely astounding. However, I definitely wouldn’t be able to pass the bar if it wasn’t for the amazing mentorship of my more experienced colleagues and learning the intricacies of PCI.”
When discussing her new role, she noted:
“There is a wide variety of skills and knowledge required in order to master the craft of being a QSA, so being a Jack of all trades is kind of a must. Joke aside, I still have a long way to go until I can stand tall just like the rest of my team, but I am positive I’ll get there.”
As Diana embarks on this new chapter, we are confident that becoming a QSA is just the beginning of a remarkable trajectory. We are eager to support her growth and see her help many FinTechs achieve their compliance goals.
