Avoid Data Breaches
PCI DSS controls protect cardholder data from theft, reducing your risk of costly breaches and fraud liability.
Prevent Fines & Penalties
Non-compliance can result in fines of $5,000–$100,000/month from card brands and potential loss of payment processing.
Build Customer Trust
Demonstrating PCI compliance shows customers and partners that you take their payment security seriously.
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is required for any business that stores, processes, or transmits credit card data. Whether you’re a small e-commerce shop or a large enterprise, SecureSystems helps you achieve and maintain compliance efficiently.

PCI Compliance FAQ
Common questions about PCI DSS certification.
Who needs to be PCI compliant?
Any organization that stores, processes, or transmits credit card data must comply with PCI DSS. This includes merchants, payment processors, service providers, and any third party handling cardholder data.
What’s the difference between SAQ and ROC?
SAQ (Self-Assessment Questionnaire) is for smaller merchants who self-attest to compliance. ROC (Report on Compliance) is required for Level 1 merchants and service providers, validated by a QSA auditor.
How often do I need ASV scans?
PCI DSS requires quarterly external vulnerability scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). You also need scans after significant infrastructure changes.
What’s new in PCI DSS v4.0?
v4.0 introduces customized validation approaches, enhanced authentication requirements (MFA everywhere), stronger encryption standards, and new e-commerce/phishing protections. Full enforcement begins March 2025.
How long does PCI certification take?
Timeline varies by scope and current state. Small merchants with SAQ A can complete in 2-4 weeks. Complex SAQ D or ROC engagements typically take 2-4 months.
What happens if I’m not PCI compliant?
Non-compliance can result in fines of $5,000–$100,000/month, increased transaction fees, liability for fraud losses, and potential loss of the ability to accept credit cards.
