- Level 1: Process over 6 million transactions a year across all channels
- Level 2: Between 1 and 6 million transactions annually across all channels
- Level 3: Between 20,000 and 1 million online transactions annually
- Level 4: Fewer than 20,000 online transactions a year, or any merchant processing up to 1 million regular transactions per year
How can my organization maintain compliance with PCI DSS to avoid a data breach?
In order to safeguard your organization against data breaches, it’s important to maintain PCI DSS compliance—it isn’t a one-off event but a continuous process. It involves:
- Continuous monitoring
- Updating security measures
- Conducting frequent PCI scanning
- Penetration testing

Yearly audits and quarterly external vulnerability scans are instrumental in scrutinizing an organization’s security posture, proactively addressing weaknesses to prevent them from snowballing into larger issues, and thus aiding in sustained PCI DSS compliance.
