What is PCI DSS
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is an international security standard developed by leading payment systems VISA, MasterCard, JCB, AMEX, and Discover. It sets requirements for businesses that handle payment data, ensuring the protection of cardholder funds.
PCI DSS certification confirms that a company meets the requirements of the standard and uses effective security tools. To achieve this, an audit must be conducted, and a certificate obtained. The process at K.I.S.S.Software ensures the reliability of payment data and compliance with all the standard’s requirements.

PCI DSS certification & crypto payment security
PCI DSS certification is required for processing payments in fiat currencies and working with international payment systems. Without compliance with the standard’s requirements, card payments cannot be accepted.
However, with the rise in popularity of digital currencies, businesses need new security measures. Since 2014, the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) has been in effect, regulating online transactions.
Accept cryptocurrency without risks – the K.I.S.S.Software team will help you conduct an audit and implement CCSS.

Requirements for certification
Certification process
The cost of certification depends on several factors: the company's level in the payment data standards system, the number of transactions, the volume of data that needs protection, and the current level of compliance with the standard's requirements. To find out the exact cost, it is recommended to consult with K.I.S.S.Software experts.
To successfully pass certification, a company must meet more than 12 requirements of the security standard. Key aspects include the protection of payment data, encryption, access control, network monitoring, and regular security testing.
The process includes several stages: analyzing the current security level, eliminating vulnerabilities, performing a PCI DSS compliance audit, and issuing a compliance certificate. The duration of the process depends on the business's preparedness and the state of its IT infrastructure.
PCI DSS certification is mandatory for all organizations working with international payment systems and processing, transmitting, or storing payment card data. This includes online stores, banks, payment services, and other financial institutions.
Non-compliance with the requirements may result in fines, restrictions on working with international payment systems, and the risk of data breaches. Additionally, there may be sanctions from banks and payment operators.
Companies are required to undergo a certification audit annually. The standard also requires regular vulnerability scanning in the security system every three months.
After successfully passing certification, a company receives a certificate of compliance with PCI DSS requirements and an Attestation of Compliance (AOC) report confirming compliance with the security standard's requirements.
