PCI DSS Case Study

How Tate Turned “Complex” into “Manageable” for PCI DSS Script Visibility

– and built compliance confidence on a publicly accountable budget

The Challenge: A Public Institution with a Private-Sector Web Stack

When PCI DSS 4.0.1’s script-monitoring requirements (6.4.3 and 11.6.1) came into scope, Tate needed a reliable way to assess the scripts running on their e-commerce site. 

Why Reflectiz: Three Things That Had to Work Together

Tate evaluated the market against three criteria that had to land together: a product that actually solved the visibility problem, a competitive price, and a vendor team capable of supporting an organisation and third party requirements.

Reflectiz scored on all three, and the third one mattered as much as the first two.

"Reflectiz scored very highly on three things: an excellent system, an affordable price, and a wonderful team that supports us."

Implementation: Under 10 Minutes to First Visibility

From submitting the URL to seeing a populated dashboard, deployment took under ten minutes. Results were visible almost immediately.

That speed mattered for a second reason. It gave Tate room to extend scanning beyond the live site. Working with the Reflectiz Customer Success team, Tate ran pre-production scans on the development environment to validate fixes before they reached production aligning implementation with their Change Management Process.

Training was handled in-house once the platform was live. The Reflectiz team onboarded the business owner directly, equipping them to take ownership of script approvals and day-to-day management without routing every decision through cyber security.

"Reflectiz really simplifies the process. And having the team on board to provide training for our business owners, so they don't have to do this manually, is something we cannot not be grateful for. The support of the team is critical for our success."

Operational Resilience: Smart Approvals That Buy Back Time

Reflectiz’s smart approval automation has been a meaningful operational win for the business owner running the system day-to-day. Rather than reviewing every script change manually, a process that had previously repeated almost every day, they can let the platform handle behavior-based approvals and focus their attention on the items that genuinely need human judgment.

"Our teams were very pleased with this feature. Previously, they handled tasks manually, repeating the process almost every day. The automation has saved them a significant amount of time."

The Business Impact

  • Audit Confidence: Tate now has the visibility, evidence, and remediation history to submit its SAQ with confidence.
  • Risk Reduction: We are able to verify scripts and ensure our sites are secure.
  • Operational Efficiency: Smart approval automation reclaimed hours of manual work for the business owner; cybersecurity validates outcomes rather than chasing scripts.
  • Public-Sector Value: A solution that works for us at competitive pricing.
  • Zero Developer Burden: Agentless deployment meant no additional implementation costs.

The Bottom Line

"Would I recommend Reflectiz? In a heartbeat."
