What are the 12 PCI DSS requirements?

To meet the requirements for PCI compliance, businesses must follow the 12 core Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) guidelines:

  • Install and maintain a firewall
  • Avoid vendor-supplied default passwords
  • Protect stored cardholder data
  • Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open networks
  • Use and update antivirus software
  • Develop and maintain secure applications
  • Restrict access to cardholder data (need-to-know basis)
  • Assign unique IDs for access control
  • Restrict physical access to cardholder data
  • Track and monitor all access to cardholder data
  • Regularly test security systems and processes
  • Maintain a strong information security policy

Regular PCI compliance audits and guidance from expert PCI compliance consultants help businesses stay aligned with these standards.

How to achieve PCI compliance for your software product

Achieving PCI compliance security for your application involves four key steps:

  • Assess – Map cardholder data flows and identify vulnerabilities
  • Remediate – Fix gaps with encryption, access controls, and secure coding
  • Validate – Complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) PCI compliance audit
  • Report – Submit compliance documentation to payment processors

What is the difference between SAQ and QSA?

To meet the requirements for PCI compliance, businesses must validate their security through either an SAQ or a QSA audit, depending on transaction volume:

  • SAQ (Self-Assessment Questionnaire) – A self-evaluation designed for smaller merchants or service providers with lower transaction volumes.
  • QSA (Qualified Security Assessor) Audit – A formal PCI compliance audit conducted by a certified assessor, required for Level 1 merchants handling large volumes of transactions.

Working with a PCI compliance consultant helps determine whether your business needs an SAQ or QSA.

Does PCI compliance require encryption?

Yes, PCI DSS mandates:

  • Encryption of stored cardholder data (AES-256 recommended).
  • Secure transmission (TLS 1.2 or higher for data in transit).
  • Tokenization can also be used to minimize stored card data.

What happens if my product is not PCI compliant?

Failing to meet the requirements for PCI compliance can result in severe consequences, including:

  • Fines ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 per month from card networks
  • Higher transaction fees and processing costs
  • Risk of data breaches, fraud, and legal liabilities
  • Loss of merchant accounts and inability to process payments

How often should PCI compliance be validated?

To stay aligned with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), businesses must validate compliance regularly:

  • Annually – Through a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) PCI compliance audit
  • Quarterly – Conduct vulnerability scans (if applicable)
  • Continuously – Monitor and maintain PCI compliance security controls

Can cloud-hosted applications be PCI compliant?

Yes, cloud-hosted applications can meet the requirements for PCI compliance, but responsibility is shared:

  • Cloud Providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) must themselves be PCI-certified
  • Shared Responsibility Model – The provider secures infrastructure, while you secure your application and data
  • Use PCI-compliant cloud services and maintain strong documentation and security controls
