Top Compliance Portal Assessment FAQs
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards created to protect against fraud and ensure the security of credit card transactions. PCI DSS provides guidelines for merchants, financial institutions, and other organizations that handle credit card data to establish and maintain secure systems and procedures for storing, processing, and transmitting cardholder data. Compliance with PCI DSS is mandatory for any organization that accepts credit card payments, and failure to comply can result in penalties, fines, and loss of business.
Any organization that accepts credit card payments or processes, stores, or transmits credit card data is required to comply with the PCI DSS standards. This includes merchants, service providers, financial institutions, and other organizations that handle credit card data.
Compliance with PCI DSS is mandatory for all organizations that accept credit card payments, regardless of their size or the number of transactions they process. However, the specific requirements for compliance may vary depending on the size and complexity of the organization's operations and the volume of credit card transactions it handles.
PCI DSS requirements include:
- Install and maintain a firewall
- Change vendor-supplied default passwords and security settings
- Protect stored cardholder data
- Encrypt cardholder data when transmitting it across open, public networks
- Use and regularly update antivirus software
- Develop security systems and processes
- Restrict access to cardholder data to a need-to-know basis
- Assign user IDs to everybody with computer access
- Restrict physical access to cardholder data
- Track and monitor who accesses networks and cardholder data
- Regularly test systems and processes
- Have a policy on information security
Once you determine your organization's compliance level, you will either fill out a Self-Assessment Questionnaire and a subsequent Attestation of Compliance, or you will need a PCI QSA to fill out a Report on Compliance.
