PCI Assessments

Mandatory Regulations

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) was created in order to reduce credit card fraud, by increasing the controls around cardholder data.  Compliance with PCI-DSS regulations requires any organization that handles cardholder information to execute some sort of annual PCI QSA assessments of their payment card system, ranging from a simple self-assessment, to a third-party assessment conducted by an external Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).  Aerstone’s free online PCI Calculator can help you determine your PCI testing and reporting requirements.
