PCI DSS Compliance
All companies that process credit card data must be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). This requirement is also applicable to E-commerce merchants who outsource all payment processing to PCI DSS validated third parties, and who have a website that doesn’t directly receive cardholder data but can impact the security of the payment transaction.
The steps required to ensure PCI DSS compliance may depend on your PCI compliance level (annual total volume of credit, debit, and prepaid card transactions):
- Level 1: > 6 million transactions
- Level 2: 1 million – 6 million transactions
- Level 3: 20,000 – 1 million transactions
- Level 4: < 20,000 transactions
