Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do I know if PCI DSS applies to my business?2023-02-28T06:16:52+00:00

PCI DSS covers all organizations involved in payment card processing, including merchants, acquirers, issuers & service providers. Compliance requirements can vary depending on the number of transactions your business involves annually. Hence, knowing your classification level and responsibilities will help you prepare for a PCI compliance audit.

2. If my business has multiple locations, does each one has to be PCI DSS compliant?2023-02-28T06:17:27+00:00

Referring to the summary of PCI FAQs from PCIComplianceGuide.org., your business needs PCI DSS validation annually once for all locations if they handle payment card data under the same Tax ID. Also, each location would need to pass network scans by a PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) quarterly.

3. Do I require a readiness assessment before the PCI DSS Audit?2023-02-28T06:18:03+00:00

You don’t need a readiness assessment but performing the same will help you improve security and achieve PCI DSS compliance by confirming effectual compliance to the standard requirements. PCI DSS assessment lets organizations identify and fix security gaps that might prevent them from successfully completing the audit. As a result, readiness assessment is considered a vital exercise before engaging in PCI DSS Audit.
