YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE

PCI-DSS Compliance

The PCI Standard is mandated by the card brands and administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The standard was created to increase controls around cardholder data to reduce credit card fraud. Validation of compliance is performed annually, either by an external Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) or by a firm specific Internal Security Assessor that creates a Report on Compliance for organizations handling large volumes of transactions, or by Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) for companies handling smaller volumes. 


Why Security Matters


The breach or theft of cardholder data affects the entire payment card ecosystem. Customers suddenly lose trust in merchants or financial institutions, their credit can be negatively affected -- there is enormous personal fallout. Merchants and financial institutions lose credibility (and in turn, business), they are also subject to numerous financial liabilities. 


Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) 


 

The Self-Assessment Questionnaire includes a series of yes-or-no questions for each applicable PCI Data Security Standard requirement. If an answer is no, your organization may be required to state the future remediation date and associated actions.


There are different questionnaires available to meet different merchant environments. You can easily find the Self-Assessment Questionnaire that best describes how you accept payment cards. If you are not sure which questionnaire applies to you give PayLab Plus a call 888.413.9186.

Who has to comply with the PCI standards?

Each of PCI SSC’s founding payment brand members (American Express, Discover, JCB International, MasterCard and Visa) currently have their own PCI compliance programs for the protection of their affiliated payment card account data.  Entities should contact the payment brands directly for information about their compliance programs. Contact details for the payment brands can be found in How do I contact the payment card brands?


Questions regarding compliance requirements for payment card account data affiliated with other payment networks or brands should be referred to the applicable payment network or brand.

PCI SSC also encourages entities to be aware of potential nuances in local laws and regulations that could affect applicability of the PCI standards.
