Frequently asked questions

PCI compliance refers to adhering to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). These information security standards apply to any entity that processes, stores, or transmits credit card information. The payment card brands mandate the standards. Compliance is enforced by these payment card brands and acquiring banks.

The levels of PCI compliance for merchants and service providers are as follows:

  • 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

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
  • Event log monitoring

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. One can engage information security consultants, cybersecurity auditors, and QSAs to take advantage of their expertise in upholding PCI DSS compliance and strengthening security protection.

Certifications and security requirements are always evolving in order to keep high standards of protection. A PCI DSS compliance software, like Thoropass, can evolve and scale with you, offering support on an ongoing basis and ensuring you’re always up to date. It helps protect cardholder data by implementing various strategies such as maintaining firewall configurations, encrypting data transmissions, and restricting access based on business needs. For example, Thoropass will perform workshops with your team each quarter to ensure best practices and bidirectional awareness across a number of impending changes, such as:

  • Changes in any PCI security standards
  • Your CDE evolving due to your product roadmap
  • Any other business operational change that may bear on your compliance with PCI DSS

A qualified security assessor (QSA) plays a key role in PCI DSS compliance by evaluating and improving card payment security within organizations. With the continuous evolution of digital threats, a QSA’s role is more crucial than ever in safeguarding sensitive cardholder data.

As the watchdogs of the payment card industry, Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) bear the responsibility of:

  • Evaluating and verifying an organization’s compliance with PCI DSS standards and requirements
  • Helping safeguard cardholder data by conducting PCI DSS assessments
  • Conducting thorough reviews to ensure the organization’s information security policy aligns with these requirements
  • Preparing formal Report on Compliance (RoC) documents for organizations with detailed assessment of the organization’s compliance status
  • Providing guidance to help businesses stay ahead in the rapidly changing landscape of PCI DSS and assist organizations in understanding the PCI DSS requirements and how they apply to their specific environments
