What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It is a set of standards designed to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. It protects cardholder data from theft and fraud through security measures and best practices.

FAQ

What is an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV)?

An Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) is a vendor authorised by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to perform vulnerability scans. These scans are conducted to ensure the security of the system under examination.

Who must comply with PCI DSS requirements?

Anyone who accepts or processes payment cards must comply with PCI DSS. There are, however, different levels of reporting requirements dependent on the size of the merchant or service provider. If you are unsure of what you require, feel free to contact us to discuss.

Is PCI DSS a legal obligation?

PCI DSS is a standard, rather than law. Non-compliance, however, will still see you faced with fines. This is because businesses enter contracts with card companies and banks that handle payment processing, which mandate compliance.
