What is PCI compliance?

Instituted and regulated by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), PCI compliance requires that all merchants who process, store and transmit with major card brands including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, abide by certain rules and follow strict requirements to ensure the security of bank data and to protect from cyber fraud.

Failure to comply puts the organization at risk of  huge fines and losing the ability to process credit card payments, or worse, having to close the business down altogether.

The council also supports Payment Application security standards for software products that are installed and used locally by merchants to process, store or transmit credit card data. Software products that meet the Payment Application Data Security Standard have been validated as compliant with PCI DSS requirements and enable merchants to readily attain PCI compliance.

We help you reduce the risk of breach by passing annual PCI audits, focusing on daily operations, and maintaining your overall security position.

We will provide all the tools and insights to guide you through a complete evaluation of the infrastructure involved in your daily business transaction process.

Security audits of both the network and individual payment processing applications are just as important as the safety of the interaction recording system. We have developed our proprietary methodology on how to achieve and stay PCI compliant.
