Q: What is PCI DSS and who needs to comply?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security requirements for any organization that accepts, processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. Compliance is mandated by the major credit card brands and enforced through acquiring banks and payment processors. Non-compliance can result in increased transaction fees, fines, and loss of the ability to process card payments. PTG helps businesses in Raleigh, Durham, and the Research Triangle achieve and maintain PCI DSS compliance.
Q: What are the PCI DSS compliance levels?
PCI DSS defines four merchant levels based on annual transaction volume. Level 1 (over six million transactions) requires an annual on-site assessment by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). Levels 2, 3, and 4 (decreasing transaction volumes) can complete annual Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs). All levels require quarterly network vulnerability scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). PTG helps organizations determine their compliance level and complete the appropriate assessment methodology.
Q: How does PCI DSS compliance relate to web hosting?
Organizations that host e-commerce websites or payment applications must ensure their hosting environment meets PCI DSS requirements including network segmentation, encryption of cardholder data in transit and at rest, access controls, logging and monitoring, and regular vulnerability scanning. PTG offers PCI-compliant managed hosting solutions that address these requirements, reducing the compliance burden on your organization while ensuring your payment infrastructure meets industry standards.
Q: How often must PCI DSS compliance be validated?
PCI DSS compliance validation is an ongoing requirement. Self-Assessment Questionnaires or on-site assessments must be completed annually. Network vulnerability scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor must be performed quarterly. Additionally, organizations must conduct internal vulnerability scans quarterly and penetration testing at least annually. PTG provides continuous compliance monitoring and scheduled assessment services to ensure your PCI DSS compliance remains current throughout the year.
