FAQs

What is PCI and DSS compliance?

PCI DSS compliance is adherence to the security requirements set by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard to safeguard cardholder data during credit and debit card transactions. It helps organizations create a secure environment that protects sensitive payment information from breaches and fraud. Any business that processes, stores, or transmits card data must meet these standards to ensure data security.

What are the PCI compliance levels for merchants?

The five payment card brands - American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard and Visa - provide their own PCI DSS compliance level thresholds. In general, levels are based on annual transaction volume and can be generally distributed as follows:

• Level 1: Merchants with over 6 million card transactions annually.

• Level 2: Merchants with 1 to 6 million transactions annually.

• Level 3: Merchants with 20,000 to 1 million transactions annually.

• Level 4: Merchants with fewer than 20,000 transactions annually.

What is the difference between PCI DSS RoC, SAQ, and AoC?

The PCI Self-Assessment questionnaire (SAQ) is a self-assessment tool that organizations use to evaluate the security of their cardholder data environment. The PCI AoC is a formal declaration confirming that the organization meets PCI DSS requirements. A PCI Report on Compliance (RoC) is a detailed report prepared by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) after reviewing the organization’s systems, security controls, and cardholder data protection.
