The Simple PCI-DSS Question
PCI-DSS compliance is very simple. Your business will review and assess:
"Do you have card data (PAN – full card number) and CVV/CVC (Security code) in any of your payment flows?"
With Paytia in front of your business, the answer becomes NO.
How Paytia Simplifies Your PCI-DSS Compliance
When you implement Paytia, you can attest that you have outsourced responsibility to Paytia, a PCI-DSS Level 1 Service Provider who captures, transacts, and tokenizes cardholder and SAD (Sensitive Authentication Data) for your business.
Your Business Responsibility Under PCI-DSS Section 12
Under PCI-DSS 4.0.1 Section 12 (Maintain a Policy that Addresses Information Security for All Personnel), your business has a responsibility to vet Paytia as your service provider. Specifically:
PCI-DSS 4.0.1 Section 12.8.2 Requirements:
Paytia will provide you with our Attestation of Compliance (AOC) confirming our audit level and that we have been assessed and verified as a safe service provider that can handle card data and SAD for your business.
Additional PCI-DSS 4.0.1 Service Provider Requirements
When using Paytia as your service provider, the following PCI-DSS 4.0.1 requirements become relevant to your compliance strategy:
Maintain and implement policies and procedures to manage service providers with whom cardholder data is shared or that could affect the security of cardholder data
Maintain a program to monitor service providers' PCI DSS compliance status at least annually
Maintain information about which PCI DSS requirements are managed by each service provider and which are managed by the entity
Important Note:
By implementing Paytia's secure payment solutions, your business scope for PCI-DSS compliance is dramatically reduced. However, you still maintain responsibility for ensuring Paytia remains compliant and for any systems that connect to our services.
Content Security Protection and Tamper Detection
Paytia web forms and checkout have Content Security Protection built in as standard. Paytia also logs and creates realtime alerts to a Paytia account administrator, ensuring comprehensive security monitoring.
PCI-DSS 4.0.1 Requirement 11.6
PCI-DSS 4.0.1 Section 11.6 requires organizations to deploy tamper-detection and/or tamper-evident mechanisms to alert personnel to unauthorized modification of critical files, data, or systems.
How Paytia Meets Requirement 11.6:
What is PCI-DSS Level 1 Compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that ALL companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
Level 1 is the highest tier of compliance, requiring the most rigorous security measures, including annual on-site assessments by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and quarterly network scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV).
