What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS is a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) in conjunction with the card schemes. It defines a specific list of requirements for ensuring the security of payment card data, affecting both the organizational and technical side of companies.

 

Does this concern me?

The PCI DSS standard defines the requirements for enterprises whose information systems

– store, process or transmit payment card data.

– can in any way affect the security of this confidential payment information.

All organizations involved in the processing of payment cards MUST comply with the regulations contained in this document.

What are my benefits?

New Market Opportunities

A PCI DSS certification represents high quality and adherence to world best practices. A PCI DSS certificate also opens the way to new markets, as PCI DSS is an international standard.

Data Security

PCI DSS helps you achieve a minimum level of security to guarantee the safety of customer data in relation to external threats.

Consistent and Secure Operations

Conversely, not having certification could preclude you from being able to do business with those entities that mandate certification.

New Partnerships

The ability to work with any payment systems and easily find and create new partnerships.

Avoiding Fines

Building security processes in the company, which will lead to reducing the risks of hacking, data theft and subsequent fines.

Image and Trust

The PCI DSS badge for a client means a really high level of card data security.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Frequently Asked Questions

This is what people are usually asking us. If you want to discuss one of these topics with us or you have other questions please contact us for your free consultation!

This usually depends on the Acquirer. Service providers are usually required to undergo a level 1 onsite assessment. The validation method for a merchant is usually dependant on the volume of transactions processed. Any entity processing 6million transactions and over need to carry out an onsite assessment as an SAQ would not be adequate
