PCI DSS Certification
Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) must be a priority if your organization handles payment card information. PCI DSS is a set of security requirements that major credit card providers mandate designed to protect cardholder data and reduce fraud. Failure to comply with PCI DSS requirements creates financial, security, and reputational risks. The PCI Security Standards Council can fine non-compliant organizations up to $100,000 a month, depending on their volume of transactions.

The security objectives of PCI DSS include:
- Building and maintaining a secure network for processing cardholder data

- Defining and maintaining a vulnerability management program
- Implementing strong access controls within the cardholder data environment
- Monitoring and testing for network vulnerabilities
- Maintaining an information security policy for corporate governance
PCI DSS contains different certification levels for both merchants and service providers.
Merchants
Level 1: More than 6 million transactions
Level 2: 1-6 million transactions
Level 3: 20,000 to 1 million transactions
Level 4: Fewer than 20,000 transactions
Service Providers
Level 1: More than 300,000 transactions
Level 2: Fewer than 300,000 transactions
Level 1 organizations must provide a Report on Compliance (RoC), which is an assessment of its security controls that must be completed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) or an Internal Security Assessor (ISA).
Organizations in Levels 2-4 can complete a Self-assessment Questionnaire (SAQ).
