Compliance Framework
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
The security standard for any organization that stores, processes, or transmits payment card data.
Who it applies to
Any business handling credit/debit card data directly — the specific compliance level and requirements scale with your transaction volume, and many businesses reduce scope significantly by routing card data through a compliant processor (like Stripe) instead of touching it themselves.
What it requires
- —A secure network and system configuration around anywhere cardholder data flows
- —Cardholder data protection — encryption, restricted storage, and never storing what you don't need to
- —Regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing
- —Strict access control to cardholder data on a need-to-know basis
- —Logging and monitoring of all access to cardholder data
How we approach it
Wherever possible, we architect payment flows so card data never touches your own servers at all — using a compliant processor's hosted fields/tokenization — which meaningfully shrinks your actual PCI-DSS scope and audit burden. Where card data must be handled directly, we scope the relevant requirement level explicitly before building.
