AKATI Sekurity Compliance Team is experienced and qualified in helping you to implement the technical and operations controls of the PCI requirements.
What is PCI DSS?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements intended to ensure that all companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. All organisations that accept or process credit card payments are required to undertake an annual PCI DSS audit of security controls and processes, covering areas of data security such as retention, encryption, physical security, authentication, and access management.
The PCI DSS provides the necessary framework for developing a complete payment card data security process that encompasses prevention, detection, and appropriate reaction to security incidents. Organisations deemed to fall short of required payment security standards, or those who are not working towards achieving compliance, are liable to receive a fine.
