What is PCI DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security measures designed to protect cardholder data and reduce the risk of fraud. Any business that handles credit or debit card transactions must follow these guidelines to keep customer information safe and prevent data breaches.

Introduced by major credit card providers, PCI DSS requires businesses to implement key security practices such as encryption, access restrictions, and regular system checks to identify potential risks. Staying compliant not only helps protect sensitive data but also reduces the risk of fines and reputational damage. For businesses that process payments, following PCI DSS is a crucial step in maintaining trust and security.

We identify TLS/SSL vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and incomplete updates that could compromise data security. Our scanning services help businesses address these risks to maintain PCI compliance.

Continuous Monitoring & High-Frequency Scanning

With frequent scans, we ensure that no system changes go unnoticed. This proactive approach allows for quick remediation, keeping businesses secure and fully compliant.

The Benefits

To meet PCI DSS compliance, businesses must implement key security measures, such as encrypting data, restricting database access, and testing for vulnerabilities.

Regular PCI scanning helps detect vulnerabilities and ensures businesses follow strict security guidelines to protect sensitive data from potential breaches.

Efficient & Streamlined Process

ToraGuard’s PCI DSS scanning services simplify and accelerate the compliance process, helping businesses secure data effectively while maintaining trust with their clients.

Six Fundamental Security Requirements

There are six fundamental areas of security requirements that businesses must meet to gain compliance with PCI DSS and therefore avoid fines for non-compliance. These include:

Building and maintaining a secure network and making sure that all systems are up to date and capable of dealing with the latest level of threat

Installing and maintaining firewalls as well as encryption and anti-virus software

Protecting how credit card data is collected, processed, and stored in both digital and physical formats

Keeping up a vulnerability management programme by using regular vulnerability PCI DSS scanning, as well as testing all other networks and developing a plan for remediation when weaknesses are found

Strong control measures need to be put in place to restrict access to credit card data

Putting in place (and maintaining) a comprehensive information security policy across the business

Meeting PCI DSS Requirements

PCI DSS must be certified by an Approved Scanning Vendor, also known as an ASV, provided by an external scanning service. Businesses can speed up the certification process by carrying out internal scans and audits, combined with continuous monitoring of credit card services. At ToraGuard, our team of cyber security experts work closely with management and leadership teams to ensure best practice standards are met, and that businesses are fully prepared and engaged for ASV scanning.

Our scanning services assist businesses to determine TLS/SSL vulnerabilities and identify any misconfigurations or incomplete updates. These are areas that could lead to the misuse of data and a failure to be compliant with PCI. Our high scanning frequency means no changes are missed and any remediation required is as effective as possible.
