    PCI DSS FAQs

    What PCI DSS level applies to my organization?

    PCI DSS levels are based on annual transaction volume. Level 1 (6M+ transactions) requires a QSA audit. Levels 2-4 may self-assess with SAQs. The requirements themselves are the same; only validation methods differ.

    Can I reduce my PCI DSS scope?

    Yes. Scope reduction is often the most cost-effective compliance strategy. Using tokenization, outsourcing to PCI-compliant processors, and network segmentation can significantly reduce the systems in scope.

    What are the penalties for PCI non-compliance?

    Payment brands can impose fines of $5,000-$100,000 per month for non-compliance. More significantly, breaches can result in liability for fraud losses, forensic investigation costs, and potential loss of card processing privileges.
