Anyone who stores, processes or transmits cardholder data must meet the PCI Data Security Standard. We reduce your scope, build the controls, monitor payment pages and prepare your self-assessment or QSA audit.
The 12 requirements grouped by goal
PCI-DSS defines 12 requirements across secure networks, cardholder data protection, vulnerability management, access control, monitoring and testing, and information security policy. Version 4.0 added stronger authentication, payment page script controls and targeted risk analysis.
