If your organisation processes, stores, or transmits credit card data, compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is mandatory. Non-compliance can lead to serious financial penalties, data breaches, and loss of customer trust.

AuditCo offers expert PCI-DSS consulting and advisory services to help organisations of all sizes meet their compliance obligations and strengthen data protection.

What is PCI-DSS?

PCI-DSS is a global standard developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB. The current version, PCI-DSS 4.0, includes 12 core requirements across six control objectives:

1.     Build and maintain a secure network and systems

2.     Protect cardholder data

3.     Maintain a vulnerability management program

4.     Implement strong access control measures

5.     Regularly monitor and test networks

6.     Maintain an information security policy

These apply to any business that accepts credit card payments, whether online, in person, or through third parties.

Why Is PCI-DSS Compliance Important?

· Mandatory for merchants and service providers

· Reduces risk of data breaches and fraud

· Avoids fines from banks and card networks

· Improves trust with customers and partners

· Aligns with ISO 27001 and other InfoSec standards

Whether you’re a startup or a multinational, PCI-DSS is essential for safeguarding customer payment data.
