Cyber security practices are increasing in all elements of our daily lives, including when making payments. Our PCI services assist organisations like yours to achieve and maintain compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

PCI DSS is an information security standard used to ensure the safety and security of credit cards, from the perspective of both credit card suppliers and merchants. Compliance is reviewed regularly, so it’s important to stay on top of best practice.

Organisations require PCI DSS compliance to ensure the secure handling, processing, and storage of payment card data. This standard is crucial for safeguarding sensitive information such as credit card numbers, expiration dates, and cardholder names from theft or unauthorised access. By adhering to PCI DSS requirements, your organisation will demonstrate their commitment to protecting customer data and fostering trust among stakeholders.

Our team of experienced consultants will guide you through the compliance process, assess your infrastructure, and provide recommendations to address any vulnerabilities within your cardholder data. By leveraging our PCI services, you will enhance the security of your payment card data and meet the requirements set by major card brands.

The importance of PCI DSS compliance

There are many reasons you should aim for PCI DSS compliance, including:

Protecting cardholder data

PCI DSS compliance helps to ensure the security of sensitive cardholder data. This is crucial for maintaining trust with customers and reducing the risk of data breaches that could lead to financial loss or reputational damage

Legal requirements

compliance with PCI DSS is often required by law or industry regulations, especially for organisations that handle credit card transactions. Failing to comply can result in fines, penalties, or legal actions

Cyber security

implementing the security measures outlined in PCI DSS helps to prevent unauthorised access to cardholder data, reducing the risk of fraud

Maintaining reputation

being PCI DSS compliant can enhance an organisations reputation as a secure and trustworthy organisation

Using modern PCI services to secure your payments

With our PCI services, our qualified specialists will go through a number of steps to ensure full compliance and security. The key features include:

Our Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) conduct thorough assessments of your organisation’s IT infrastructure, systems, and processes to identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with PCI DSS requirements.

We perform comprehensive penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks and identify weaknesses in your systems and applications. This helps you understand potential entry points for attackers and take appropriate measures to secure your environment.

Our specialists assist in implementing robust network security measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS), to protect your network from unauthorised access and maintain compliance with PCI DSS.

We help you evaluate and implement payment applications that are compliant with the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS). These applications ensure secure processing of payment card data and help you stay aligned with PCI DSS requirements.

We provide guidance on implementing tokenisation and encryption techniques to protect cardholder data. Tokenisation replaces sensitive card data with unique identifiers (tokens), while encryption ensures data remains unreadable. These techniques minimise the risk of data breaches and maintain compliance with PCI DSS.

We assist in establishing incident response processes and monitoring systems to detect and respond to security incidents promptly. Regular reviews and the development of an incident response plan will help you to effectively handle security breaches and minimise their impact.
