PCIDSS Compliance & Certification
Establish Confidence Through PCI DSS Compliance
In today’s digital economy, secure payment processing is no longer optional—it’s a business necessity. With the rise of credit card fraud and data breaches, organizations are required to implement robust security controls to protect sensitive cardholder data. Failure to comply with PCI DSS can lead to severe financial penalties, legal consequences, and irreparable reputational damage.
AKATI Sekurity’s PCI DSS Compliance Program provides expert guidance, technical implementation, and continuous support to help organizations achieve and maintain PCI DSS certification—ensuring both compliance and strong cybersecurity resilience.
What is PCI DSS?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global security framework designed to protect cardholder data across all businesses that process, store, or transmit credit card information. Organizations must undergo an annual PCI DSS audit to evaluate security practices, covering areas such as:
✔ Data encryption & storage protection
✔ Network security & access control
✔ Vulnerability management & security monitoring
✔ Incident response & fraud prevention
Non-compliance puts businesses at risk of financial penalties, data breaches, and loss of customer trust—making PCI DSS certification critical for safeguarding payment environments.
How Do You Know If You Need to Comply with PCI DSS?
If your business stores, processes, or transmits payment card data, you are required to comply with PCI DSS—regardless of size or transaction volume. This applies to:
✔ Retailers & E-commerce Businesses – Any company accepting credit or debit card payments, whether in-store or online.
✔ Financial Institutions & Payment Processors – Banks, payment gateways, and financial services handling card transactions.
✔ Hospitality & Travel Industry – Hotels, airlines, and booking platforms that process card payments.
✔ Healthcare & Insurance Providers – Organizations accepting card payments for medical bills or insurance services.
✔ Third-Party Service Providers – Cloud service providers, managed security firms, and vendors that store or manage payment data on behalf of merchants.
Failure to comply can result in severe financial penalties, increased transaction fees, and potential loss of payment processing privileges. Ensuring compliance protects your business from fraud, legal liabilities, and reputational damage.
