What is the PCI DSS?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of guidelines designed to ensure businesses that handle and process payment card data
are doing everything possible to protect this information.
Compliance with the standard is required for all businesses that process payment card information, regardless of the number of transactions they process annually, their size, industry or nature of the company.

How to Become PCI DSS Compliant
The compliance process will vary depending on the organisation, but some of the common steps include:
- Scoping the Cardholder environment – has every payment channel been included?
- Looking at historic data processing to ensure you are not at risk from an out-of-date process or system.
- Reducing the scope where possible by removing cardholder data from your environment.
- Card Data Discovery and/or Data Redaction to identify and remove any unwanted sensitive data.
- Agreeing on the approach with the approval of the acquiring bank.
- Identifying solutions that may not meet the minimum standard required, and looking at alternatives.
- Working with you through the remediation phase to check that what is being implemented will work.
- Creation of policies and procedures that meet the requirements of the PCI DSS.
- Performing the assessment against the PCI DSS and providing a Report on Compliance (RoC)or completed Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ).
- Communicating with your acquiring bank and any other parties that may be involved.

Our Experience
At 3B Data Security, we have a wealth of experience within our Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) team. Some of our QSAs have been dealing with
payment security for over 25 years and were involved in the application of the ‘Card brand’ data security standards which eventually developed into the PCI DSS.
Using the industry knowledge our team have gained from working with ongoing PCI Forensic Investigations, we have up-to-date insight into the current threats facing the payment landscape. Unlike the majority of PCI Assessor companies, we have first-hand experience with these threats and trends, and have the skills and expertise to protect your organisation from these risks.
We don’t just care about ticking boxes, we want each organisation we work with to be secure and compliant. It’s this approach that distinguishes 3B Data Security as a trusted, credible, and reliable partner.

What Our Clients Have to Say
“They explained the whole project and whilst this was in detail it was also simplified so we fully understood, their presentation was great,
and were both very knowledgeable. The presentation was detailed and confirmed what they would deliver and when. It was by far the best presentation we
had seen when choosing a company to assist with our PCI compliance so there was no question as to the appointment.. I can’t fault any part of the process,
it was a pleasure to work alongside a company that delivers everything that they said they would!”
