The PCI DSS is a minimum set of technical and organisational requirements designed to help businesses protect customers’ cardholder data against fraud through robust payment security.
All organisations that accept or process credit card payments are required to undertake an annual PCI DSS audit of security controls and processes, covering areas of data security such as retention, encryption, physical security, authentication, and access management.
PCI DSS is enforced by the founding members of the PCI Council: American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard, and Visa Inc. Organisations deemed to fall short of required payment security standards, or those who are not working towards achieving compliance, are liable to receive a fine.
PCI REQUIREMENTS
Build and maintain a secure network.
Protect cardholder data.
Maintain a vulnerability management programme.
Implement strong access control measures.
Regularly monitor and test networks.
Maintain an information security policy.
PCI DSS QSA COMPLIANCE: OVERVIEW
PCI DSS QSA (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Quality Security Assessor) is applicable to all business entities that store, process, or transmit cardholder data or sensitive authentication data. Our PCI DSS QSA Services help organisations meet and exceed the requirements of the PCI Data Security Standard. Our PCI DSS compliance services include consulting, technical security, training, staff awareness, and necessary documentation. The drawback of not having PCI DSS is that you will lose the ability to process all credit and debit card-related transactions. PCI DSS was founded jointly by VISA, Master Card, and American Express. It is a widely accepted set of policies and procedures to optimise the security of sensitive cardholder data. PCI DSS certification is the best way to secure sensitive data and vital information. Hence, helping companies build good relationships and trust with their clients
WHY PCI DSS COMPLIANCE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Being PCI DSS-compliant means you are doing your best to keep your customers sensitive information secure. It reduces the risk of customer data falling into the wrong hands.
If you are storing customer data and lose the card’s data, then you are liable to pay a huge amount of penalties and other operational costs. This will also affect your business, as customers don’t want to do any transactions with you. Hence, PCI DSS compliance is a very important aspect, as it shows how much you care for your customers’ vital card data.
You are the only one who is responsible for securing customer card information, regardless of who processes the data on your behalf.
Being PCI DSS compliant requires you to cover network security, data protection, vulnerability management, access control, monitoring, and testing, as well as information security. You may not have the skills or the time to protect your systems from breaches by hackers and need services from our special category of trusted professionals who will work closely with you to maintain and verify their compliance so that you are not affected by any malicious incidents.
Benefits of PCI Audit:
- • Secures your customer card data and other vital information
- • Reduces the risk of data breach
- • Serves as the globally accepted standard
- • Provides a starting point for other regulations
- • Peace of mind
- • Helps in identifying potential vulnerabilities in the system
