Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Who needs to be PCI compliant?

Any business that accepts, processes, stores, or transmits credit-card data, which is nearly every business that takes cards.

Can you reduce how much applies to us?

Often, yes. We help shrink your “scope” so fewer systems touch card data, which makes compliance simpler and cheaper.

Is this a one-time project?

No. PCI is ongoing, so we help you reach compliance and then maintain it with monitoring, testing, and policy upkeep.
