Background

About Svilen Mirchev

I work in security and compliance, with a focus on payments. Right now, I’m Regional Security Officer at Ingenico, where I help make sure our solutions meet PCI and other international standards while staying practical for the business.Over the past 8+ years, I’ve worked across areas like PCI DSS, SPoC, CPoC, MPoC, P2PE, PIN Security, Secure Software/SLC, ISO 27001, SOC reports, FedRAMP, and NIST. I’ve also been a QSA auditor, so I’ve seen both sides of compliance assessing and being assessed.Along the way I’ve picked up a range of certifications (CISSP, CCSP, CISA, CISM, CASP+, Cloud+, AWS SAA/SCS, AZ-500, ISO 27001 LA) and hands-on experience with security frameworks.Day to day, I spend my time bridging business and security needs, working with product and pre-sales teams, coordinating with PCI labs and pen testers, and supporting operations. My goal is simple: make security strong, scalable, and something that helps the business move forward.
