What is PCI DSS?

PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) is the baseline standard that helps enterprises achieve cardholder data security. Merchants and Service Providers are required to protect cardholder data of their customers. PCI DSS QSA companies are enabled to validate the effective compliance of merchants & service providers. Merchants have a contractual obligation to comply with PCI DSS requirements. 

ValueMentor’s PCI Certification programs help customers achieve PCI DSS Compliance and payment security. 

Our PCI Test examines the technical and operational components of a system that fetches cardholder data and ensures that it meetsPCI DSS compliance standards. All organizations handling credit card payments require annual PCI DSS Audits for their security controls and processes. PCI DSS Certification India covers areas of data security such as encryption, authentication, data retention, physical security, and data protection. Organizations falling short of achieving the PCI DSS Compliance Certificate could be liable for fines and penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do I know if PCI DSS applies to my business?2022-11-25T05:14:12+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?2022-11-25T05:14:53+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?2022-11-25T05:16:47+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.
