Frequently asked
What is PCI DSS?
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a Global compliance framework. Mandatory for any organization handling cardholder data. We scope, assess, and support certification across all four PCI DSS merchant levels.
How does Threat ResQ Technologies help with PCI DSS?
Threat ResQ maps your existing controls against PCI DSS requirements, closes identified gaps, and supports the certification or attestation process end to end via getTRAC's continuous evidence collection.
What are the four PCI DSS merchant levels?
They're based on annual transaction volume, from Level 1 (over 6 million transactions/year, requiring an on-site QSA assessment) down to Level 4 (self-assessment for the smallest merchants) — we help determine your level and scope the right assessment.
Can we reduce our PCI DSS scope?
Yes — tokenization, network segmentation, and using a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor can significantly shrink the systems that fall in scope, which is often the fastest way to cut audit cost and complexity.
