With cyber threats increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, it is imperative for organisations to adhere to stringent security standards to protect sensitive financial information. One such standard that holds substantial significance is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). As a leader in the field of cyber security, we understand the critical importance of PCI DSS compliance in safeguarding your organisation’s reputation, maintaining customer trust, and mitigating financial risks.
PCI DSS certification is a comprehensive framework established to ensure the secure handling, storage, and transmission of credit card and payment card information. Developed collaboratively by major credit card companies, PCI DSS certification is essential for businesses that handle payment card data to prevent data breaches, fraud, and unauthorised access. It encompasses a set of security requirements, including network protection, access controls, encryption, regular monitoring, and compliance reporting.
Achieving PCI DSS certification signifies an organisation’s commitment to safeguarding sensitive financial information and maintaining the trust of customers and partners in the payment card ecosystem.
The PCI DSS framework defines the way in which customer payment card data is processed, transmitted and stored. Compliance with the standard protects your customers and you against fraud, chargebacks and significant financial penalties imposed by card issuers.
A PCI DSS assessment tests the various touchpoints in your payment workflow to ensure security provisions are working correctly. From the physical card payment terminal at the checkout to the way in which sensitive data is stripped from transaction details before storage, every factor is assessed in depth.
We are well placed to understand the more challenging aspects of PCI DSS and are able to create solutions that are tailored to your particular challenges, ensuring you have a smooth route to compliance. We also support customers in gaining compliance following a breach of card data.
Whether you need multiple solutions or a single solution to fill the gaps in your existing technology or expertise, our nationwide team can provide the support your business may need.
The PCI DSS standard specifies six categories where your business must demonstrate suitably strong protections. Wavenet consultants will test every aspect of your cardholder data environment (CDE) to ensure it meets expectations and properly protects the payment card data you have been entrusted with.
To ensure your security provisions are operating correctly, Wavenet consultant will carry out a range of penetration tests. These will test every point of the payment processing network, identifying vulnerabilities that require urgent attention.
