Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is PCI compliance, and why is it important for my business?
PCI compliance refers to the standards set by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) for businesses that handle credit card information. It's important because it helps protect sensitive cardholder data from breaches, ensuring your customers' information is safe and your business avoids fines and penalties.
How does ACS Computer Services help my business achieve PCI compliance?
We provide a range of services designed to help your business meet PCI compliance requirements. This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing data encryption, managing firewalls, and providing continuous monitoring to protect your systems. We also offer regular audits to ensure you maintain compliance.
What happens if my business is not PCI compliant?
If your business is not PCI compliant, you could face fines, higher transaction fees, and even lose the ability to process credit card payments. Additionally, non-compliance increases the risk of a data breach, which can result in reputational damage, financial losses, and legal liabilities.
How often do I need to assess my PCI compliance?
PCI DSS requires businesses to regularly assess their compliance, typically on an annual basis. However, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensuring that your systems remain secure and compliant throughout the year. We recommend conducting a risk assessment at least once a year, or after any significant changes to your payment systems.
How can ACS Computer Services help secure my payment systems?
We implement a range of security measures to protect your payment systems, including encryption, firewall protection, secure payment gateways, and regular vulnerability assessments. Our continuous monitoring services also detect and respond to potential threats in real-time, ensuring your systems remain secure.
