What is PCI DSS

PCI DSS is an abbreviation for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This concept was implemented by the world’s biggest payment card providers – VISA, MasterCard, JCB, AMEX, and Discover. This standard defines PCI security compliance of a business that acts as a provider of payment cards and corresponds to the safety of data and funds of its cardholders. PCI DSS compliance of a company means that the organization utilizes safe tools and implements reliable policies of security management.

To approve that they meet these security standards, companies have to complete a special PCI DSS security assessment procedure. At the end of this procedure, they are provided with certificates that prove their compliance. If your business needs such an assessment, you can request PCI DSS compliance services from the K.I.S.S.Software cybersecurity company.

What is PCI DSS

The common question asked is: what are the entities that must request PCI compliance consulting? Your organization needs PCI consulting services if it is accountable for the safe storing, processing, and transmitting of cardholder data. This is a necessary part of a cybersecurity framework for payment card providers.

PCI DSS security certification is a procedure that assesses all components related to the data safety of cardholders. In other words, your business must meet this standard even if it has the most insignificant exposure to the data of cardholders.

PCI DSS Compliance and certification services

As a PCI compliant service provider, the K.I.S.S.Software company applies the Information Security System. This is a certification framework that relies on the approach that considers all the cybersecurity risks and looks for effective methods and solutions to mitigate them.

The Information Security System deals with the general data, while PCI DSSS focuses on the protection of the data of cardholders. K.I.S.S.Software provides the most advanced PCI DSS compliance and certification services that let your business meet the requirements of the Information Security System.

PCI DSS Certification we provide isn’t just a one-time validation. To meet these sophisticated standards, your business needs to successfully complete assessments every year, which adds more value to your cybersecurity framework.

PCI DSS & Cryptocurrency Security Standard

PCI DSS certification is applied for online payments in fiat currencies. It’s common for the majority of world-known brands that deliver their services online. If a company doesn’t meet the requirements of this standard, it won’t be able to process online payments from credit cards successfully.

However, as far as we are concerned, many online are executed not only in fiat currencies. Clients started using digital money more frequently in recent years. That’s why many businesses need to adopt new security standards, which are commonly referred to as CCSS – Cryptocurrency Security Standard. This system was introduced in 2014. It explains how crypto payments should be managed online in order to make transactions safe.

If your business accepts or processes online payments in digital currencies, make it compliant with CCSS with the help of the K.I.S.S.Software team.
