Zarpra PCI Services - Helping businesses comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

PCI

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the global standard for ensuring that businesses securely handle credit and debit card transactions. Compliance with PCI DSS is crucial for organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data, as it helps protect against data breaches, fraud, and theft.

At Zarpra, we provide comprehensive PCI compliance management services to help your organization meet and maintain PCI DSS requirements with ease, ensuring the security of your payment processing systems.

What Is PCI DSS Compliance?

PCI DSS is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies that process, store, or transmit cardholder data maintain a secure environment. The standard consists of 12 requirements grouped into six categories that focus on protecting cardholder data, securing networks, managing access control, and ensuring regular monitoring.

The 12 requirements are:

  1. Build and maintain a secure network.
  2. Protect cardholder data.
  3. Maintain a vulnerability management program.
  4. Implement strong access control measures.
  5. Regularly monitor and test networks.
  6. Maintain an information security policy.

Organizations must demonstrate compliance with these requirements to avoid penalties, prevent data breaches, and secure customer trust.
